I have seen this meme played before and thought about introducing it here, but simply haven’t found the time. Now that I have been tagged, the time has found me.
The rules state that you open your current read to page 123, locate the 5th sentence and write the three that follow:

The Witches of Eastwick by John Updike
And now I wonder if any of my dear readers would like to add their reads? Or blog this meme on their own site?
It is unfortunate – or maybe not – that it wasn’t page 122. Smut. Nothing but smut. It’s a book about the ’60’s though, so what can one expect? The passage above though is quite interesting, don’t you think?
