1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
The book nearest to Pamela when she played this blog game was by Alfie Kohn, the radical educational theorist. Next to me on the couch as I read this blog post? Healing with Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford, or as I generally call it, the great big book of bubbeh-meisehs. Fifth sentence on page 123: "It is a major structural component of the brain, and is found in the retina of the eye and in sperm." (What is "it" you ask? DHA or docohexaenoic acid, one of the Omega-3 fatty acids.) Okay, that's probably true. I got lucky.
This is a fun meme. I like to see what reading material others have within arm's reach.
Mine made me laugh. It was like opening a fortune cookie.
