Book Meme

Thanks to Paxye over at A Hippie with a Minivan for tagging me with this one. Here’s the idea:

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.

They had been especially excited when they found out Professor Chin still held a passport from Taiwan, which arouses less attention than an American passport in China. Despite the icy diplomatic relations between China and Taiwan, Taiwanese nationals have played a critical role in moving Fujianese across the world. The lure of profit trumps the pride of patriotism.

I am tagging Kim, Andrea, Ron, Katherine, and Tracy.

    Ron and I sit at the same desk. :)

    (I’ll go right, he can go left.)

    Okay, but it won’t be as exciting as yours…

    Whoops – forgot the title! It’s The Fortune Cookie Chronicles by Jennifer 8 Lee (http://www.fortunecookiechronicles.com/)

    Oh. I think I have to pick a book from next to the bed, not the one on the chair here, otherwise it’s a post about spinning textured yarn…

    I found a book! Had to dig through an awful lot of piles of paper and miscellaneous stuff (there weren’t 123 pages in Mad Libs), but finally came to a book!
