Tagged!



T$ tagged me with a book meme.

The rules for this one is similar to one I did a while ago, but this time I have a different book.

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Locate the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences on your blog and in so doing...
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged me.

So here's mine from the King Of Run-On Sentences, Bret Easton Ellis:

''The bus pulled away from the curb before everyone was seated and hurled back onto the highway.

I tried to read the book but couldn't.

It started to rain, the sound of the Talking Heads coming from the cassette player, the girls passing Diet Pepsi and nachos back and forth and trying to flirt with me, the incessant yapping from the college boys in back, someone smoking clove cigarettes, an occasional joint, talking about how som slut named Ursula was f-cked by some guy named Phil in the back of some guy's Toyota Nissan named Mark and how Ursula lied to Phil and said it wasn't his baby but he paid for the abortion anyway and it was all so irritating I couldn't even concentrate on anything.'
Can you name the book?

Wow, I was way off. I was having trouble with which book, but was pretty sure it was from the King James version ...
