I guess I am the last blogger specie on Sulekha to be playing this tag game.
Dr. Priya tagged me first and then TD23 tagged me. So this one's for both ya :)
THE RULES :
Pick up the nearest book.
Open to page 123.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the next three sentences.
Tag seven people, and acknowledge the person who tagged you . Add the rules!!!
"So, you too, sir, have seen and heard this spectacle," said the Arab, laughing as cheerfully as the reticence of his race permitted. "So you know what the animals want," I asked. "Of course, sir," he said. "That's common knowledge--as long as there are Arabs, these scissors will wander with us through the deserts until the end of days. Every European is offered them for the great work; every European is exactly the one they think qualified to do it. These animals have an absurd hope. They're idiots, real idiots. That's why we're fond of them. They are our dogs, finer than the ones you have. Now, watch this. In the night a camel died. I have had it brought here."
This excerpt is from a book called - Collected short writings by Franz Kafka. Since this book didn't have a page 123 :P but happened to be the nearest book to me, I'm posting the excerpt from the last page of the book.
I'm thinking of doing a series of reviews on autobiograpgies , anthologies , fiction, non fiction I have been reading past few days rather months :)
I'm tagging no one because all those I know have already played this game :)
Happy Reading people!

your kafkaque turn appears to have left many gasping...
Presume u'd have definitely read Coelho's Alchemist?
In case you're into Hindi reading too - would recommend Hari Shanker Parsai Ji's "Premchand ke phatey jootey" Its a great read/ also recommend Raag Darbari by Shukla (there was a great serial made on it ages ago for DD)
