Well, Zanne tagged me this week with these instructions, so here it is …

(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

Okay - I actually have about 7 or 8 books around me right now - I’ve been reading pretty voraciously lately (even for me) - but I chose this book cuz it’s been helping me with a project I’ve been working on for about a year now … LOLLLL:

1) The Fertility Diet by Jorge Chavarro MD and Walter Willett MD.

2-4) The fifth sentence is the start of the paragraph so I’m going to start with that:  A healthful diet generally delivers most of the micronutrients–vitamins and minerals–needed to keep the body’s systems operating smoothly.  There are special situations, though that demand more than what food can provide.  Older people who have trouble absorbing vitamin B12 need extra from pills.  Food can’t supply nearly enough vitamin D for people who don’t get out in the sun.  Conception and pregnancy are two other scenarios.  They require extra folic acid (one of the B vitamins), iron, and some of the other ingredients in a multivitamin-multimineral supplement.

I added an extra sentence but it finished out the paragraph.  Now for tagging five others - Steve, Alyssa, Matty, Dan, and whoever else reads this blog … LOLLLL.

Shoot! I have no blog!

Ah, well, I’m surrounded by resellable books anyway. In my lap at the moment is a deplorable children’s reading textbook. What a racket to even sell READING TEXTBOOKS! Think about it. Every book is a reading textbook! What a way to inoculate children against reading — giving them boring, sanitized stories in tiny little tidbits in a book with a glittery, pink-and-purple, vomit-inducing cover….

Oops. Was that out loud? :)

I know how you feel - I really dislike reading books - they’re so boring - if we could get kids to read a lot of the classics - they might learn to love to read too - just like we did.
