This is what I'm supposed to do:
Pick up the nearest book (one of at least 123 pages)
Open the page to 123.
Find the 5th sentence.
Post the next 3 sentences
Tag 5 more people.

So, here goes - I have ton of books surrounding me - but I followed instructions and grabbed the closest one. It was the Phone Book - but that's boring! So I grabbed the next one. The National Geographic (February 2008).

Page 123 had a big picure of a man from Kabul. So I continued to the next page, which had another picture of men working in a factory in Kabul. I turned to the next page (126) and then counted the sentences. The 5th sentence was:

"After U.S. forces drove the Taliban from power, expectations rose. The Hazaras, in particular, thought deliverance was at hand. "I've operated in the days when Hazaras felt they were virtually faced with an apartheid system," Semple says."

I tag Dad, Daniel, Tony, Michael, and Joshua. Good luck.
