Found on Crooked Tmber. And because I haven't posted in a while. Let me do this meme. You can too.
Instructions:
1. Grab the nearest book (that is at least 123 pages long).
2. Open to p. 123.
3. Go down to the 5th sentence.
4. Type in the following 3 sentences.
5. Tag five people.
What books do I have on hand? The absolute nearest to me is The Saga of the Icelanders by some really old Icelanders, I guess. Page 123 is in the middle of Egil's Saga.
That's more than 3 sentences, but it I can't really tell what 3 sentences are when most of it is in verse. Yikes! Those darn sagas.
Your turn whomever you are.

"Then he spoke a verse:
I could not stand the ugly
land-claimer's wrath;
no cuckoo will alight knowing
that the squawking eagle prowls.
There, as before, I benefited
from the bear of the hearth-seat.
No one need give up who boasts
such a loyal helper on his travels."

From MUDSLINGERS: THE 25 DIRTIEST POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS OF ALL TIME by K. Swint
"And he faced an opponent in Democratic nominee Ann Richards who had a controversial public image and a history of personal problems.
Newsweek described the contest as between "a millionaire political novice who sits on a white horse, tips his Stetson hat when he greets a woman and has settled at least a couple of disagreements with fisticuffs... and a feminist and recovering alcoholic who put her white bouffant on the national map by telling the country (at the 1988 Democratic NAtional Convention) that President George Bush was 'born with a silver foot in his mouth.'" A cowboy versus a feminist?"

Sheesh. I waited days for that?! ;)
