Bibliomeme

1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 23. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

“Right-click the My Documents folder and select Properties”

(from Hillier's book, reviewed below)

Hmm... that may be the most common answer around. ;-)

I have a feeling that lots of these are going to be technical books. Fortunately today I have my copy of "Video Trash And Treasures Volume One" at hand, due to a discussion about zombie movies I was having with a coworker the other day.

The game is played exactly like Seven-Card Stud High except the highest card showing (excluding the ace, which is strictly a low card) on third street (the third round of cards dealt face up by the dealer) is usually a forced bet.

What an utterly senseless idea that could only have spawned from the deseased mind of a blogger. And directions are lacking clearness. What if there is no fifth sentence? Do headings and captions count as sentences? =p

But since you mentioned the magic number 23 I can't resist. =D

I'm sitting at my computer, so of course it's a computer book. I'm embarrassed to say, it's one I haven't opened in years. Clearly it's time to fight my tendencies to hoard, and have a major clear-out.
