Grab a Book

I've been tagged by Meredith!

Here's the meme:
1. Find the nearest book.
2. Name the book & the author.
3. Turn to page 123.
4. Go to the fifth sentence on the page. Copy out the next three sentences and post to your blog.
5. Tag three more folks.

I grabbed Denise Giardina's Storming Heaven, a novel about the West Virginia coal mine wars.

He wouldn't listen.

"Them coal operators aint angels, C.J.," he said. "You got to reckon
with it."

Hm. I believe there's truth to that statement even today.

Anyway, this was a nice, quick, easy meme -- just perfect for a day when S. has abandoned all thoughts of napping and is now taking off his shirt and throwing everything off the couch so that he can stretch out, lift his chest up off the cushions, and sing like Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

And now for the tagging. Okay, Teej, Writergrrl, and Susan, grab a book if you're up for it!
