Charles Buell, Seattle, WA, Home Inspector just tagged me in a Non-Meme Bookworm Blog. This is my very first tag, so let's hope I can follow instructions correctly!
Here are the rules:
1. Grab the nearest book*.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next two to five sentences.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intellectual one. Pick the Closest.
6. Tag five people to do the same
*Can't be the Bible.
Through the torrents of rain and wind, the order was passed to the crew to prepare to save themselves as the Priscilla was about to wreck.
After tossing about for the entire day, the ship finally struck bottom at about 9:00 p.m. on the seventeenth. For the next hour, the Priscilla was bashed against the shallow shoals as huge breakers crashed over its hull. Within moments, Captain Springsteen's wife, his son, and two crew members were swept overboard and drowned. Shortly afterward, and with a loud crash, the ship's hull broke apart, and the remaining horrified sailors held tightly to their wreck. Five more terrorizing hours would pass before the captain and his surviving crew would aproach the beach. (North Carolina's Hurricane History by: Jay Barnes)

Okay, so now for my five victims...

OK, Amy. I'm going to try this. Wouldn't you know the nearest book to me is the Frog Prince, written by none other than me.
Somedays I felt like Anne Sullivan to Marley's Helen Keller.

The Bookworm MeMe spread like a San Diego County wild fire. I got hit with seven within hours of each other, so I had to modify the rules slightly since the closest book, page 56, would be the same for all seven of them.
