Book Meme - Part Deux
I was searching through the blog looking for something and ran across this old post from Feb 2005 - Book Meme. It was interesting and fun reading the responses last time, so thought I’d post it again. Let’s see what you all have this time around!
- Grab the nearest book.
- Open the book to page 123.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
- Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
Be sure to follow the rules - no cheating!

“Try as I could to keep up with the incessant calls from Franklin Gruber, I would often pause from all the buying and the selling to reflect on the latter half of May - and how I ever ended up in a Presbyterian church.
Reflection, though, is an understatement; I’d often catch myself in random daydreams, oblivious to markets in motion.
Sometimes I’d wonder if events were fate, if the real-estate lady was a secret agent or if my picking that church was happenstance.”

So I just tried to do this while in the lab, and I just found out I don’t have page 123. Not because the research book next to me is under 100 pages (more than 200) but because the publisher decided to not include chapter 9 on osteoclast differentiation. Hmmm…looks like the publisher is going to get an email.

Uhh I guess I’ll do it:
“God spoke to Moses: “Take fragrant spices—gum resin, onycha, galbanum—and add pure frankincense. Mix the spices in equal proportions to make an aromatic incense, the art of a perfumer, salted and pure—holy. Now crush some of it into powder and place some of it before The Testimony in the Tent of Meeting where I will meet with you; it will be for you the holiest of holy places.”
-Exodus 30: 34-37 (The Message)
Uh… what?
