Here are the Rules:
1. Get the book that's on your nightstand (or whatever you happen to be reading).
2. Open it to page 56 and find the 5th sentence.
3. Post the next couple of sentences on your blog, along with these instructions.
4. Do not go and find your favorite book; it has to be the one you are reading now!
5. Tag five other people to do the same.
So here's mine: The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy, pg 56:
"Sir Percy Blakeney had travelled a great deal abroad, before he brought home his beautiful, young, French wife. The fashionable circles of the time were ready to receive them both with open arms; Sir Percy was rich, his wife was accomplished, the Prince of Wales took a very great liking to them both."
I'm not sure who to tag...anyone who is reading a good book, and wants to share or play tag! (leave a comment so I know to look at your blog for it!)

I've always wanted to read this book. I saw the old movie and a stage version of it and loved both. Fun tag! I did the book one a while back.
"Microsoft Project 2003 also allows flexibility and adaptability to accurately reflect the actual workings of each individual project. You can change many of these settings after tasks and resources have already been entered into the project. However, by addressing these issues up front, you are guaranteed to create a schedule that is based on logic and calculated reason."
What a great read! Tension you can cut with a knife!

"The housecarls were picked men, oversized, thick-muscled, wearing leather jerkins reinforced with iron rings. Their characteristic weapon was the mighty battle-ax, five feet long and grasped with both hands. The militia, untrained, carried what weapons they could muster..."
What a cute tag! Are you liking the Scarlet Pimpernel..it took me a couple chapters to get into it, but by the end I loved it!

From Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver (a little more engaging than Project 2003)
