That Random Book Meme Thingy
Nat's only gone and bollocking tagged me (that's two tags in two days, a new record!) with the random book meme thing, which goes something like this:
- Take the nearest book and go to page 123.
- Go to the fifth sentence of the page.
- Copy down the next three sentences and tag three people.
Nat has also taken the liberty of adding additional rules about doing it in work and asking whether or not you knew what's written on the page you find.
SO! I turned around at my desk and the first book saw was "Sound For Theatres" by Graham Walne, page 123 of which is almost entirely made up of pictures, and which has only three sentences. Dang. I tried again, picking up the second book there, "The Lost Theatres Of Dublin" by Philip B Ryan, which I have perused before on more than one occasion. Page 123 is about The Queen's Theatre, which was demolished in 1969.
"We know what Mr. Lucas means, he elevates Leno to the status of a serious artist, but we don't know what it was like to experience his artistry. George Bernard Shaw admired Marie Lloyd, but often wondered why someone didn't write humorous songs for her. Her songs, according to GBS, were very funnily sung but were not in themselves particularly funny.
I have to admit, apart from "George Bernard Shaw", I haven't a notion who's being talked about here. Marie Lloyd? A quick glance at the Wiki-wiki-wah gives me some insight. Interesting.
I'm not tagging anyone this time. If you really, really want to do this one, go crazy.
