Jill over at Caffeine Court (one of my favorite Jersey Girl Bloggers) tagged me with the book meme.
I’m currently reading a book of short stories written by Joseph Conrad (”Youth“, “Heart of Darkness” and “Typhoon“). Amazingly, he was born in Poland, yet wrote in exquisite English.
The rules :
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people & post a comment here once you post it to your blog, so I can come see.
Page 123 is from the story “Heart of Darkness.”
“…Yes; I looked at them as you would on any human being, with a curiosity of their impulses, motives, capabilities, weaknesses, when brought to the test of an inexorable physical necessity. Restraint! What possible restraint?…”
Once again, I’m breaking the rules as far as the tagging goes. If you haven’t already done this meme and would like to, please help yourself!

Great book! One of my favorites, as you know. Good thing the meme doesn’t ask for the last line…

Wow. Pretty intense. A little deeper than “Wifey!”
Thanks for playing along!

@Tim: You mean, “Pass the bottle”?
@Jill: Yeah, but I like “Wifey” too! It was fun, thanks for tagging me!
