1. Grab the nearest book. Don't search for something cool. Grab what's actually closest to you.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your own journal along with these instructions.
"Well, Mikhailo Alexandrych, might I have the honor of taking you to the high road in my new troika?"
From the last page of A Month in the Country, by Ivan Turgenev. The first two books I picked up were Stoppard plays, well short of 123 pages. I found the Turgenev at the Takoma Book Exchange, and snatched it up with the hope that it would supplement my reading of the Coast of Utopia. I did successfully finish Shipwreck, but I'm afraid that I didn't really get it -- I agree,olivia_circe, that it really needs the rest of the trilogy. And maybe the Turgenev will prove illuminating, if I can get through it.
