.....Of course, being the PROVERBIAL DISNEY Lemming :-), I fell right into this meme. :-)

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.

"S124 The reference to the Quenta is to QS SS126 ff. - Against the first sentence of this annal my father afterwards pencilled an X, with a scribbled note: 'This is too late. It should be the date of the invitation of the [?Sires] of Men to come west'. This was struck through, apart from the first four words: these are the first indication of major changes in the chronology that would enter at a later time."

.....I was looking for a particular reference a couple of weeks ago and it was still sitting on my desk. A good indication that it is time to clean off the desk. :-)

.....Arontius.
