On a lighter note, the Lovely Lakota asked me to:

Pick a book that's near you.
Go to page 125.
Go to the fifth sentence and read the next 3.
Tag five other people. Well instead of tagging five people, I will give you five books.

Book 1.
Dally 1 to flirt 2 two deal carelessly with 3 to waste time, loiter
Dalmatian a large short haired dog with dark spots on a white coat.
Dam a barrier built to hold back falling water.

Book 2.
The exposure time for the man lighting the round is reduced to the time necessary to light the igniter cord at point of initiation. If the route of retreat from the blast is extremely difficult or slow the single long tail or line of igniter cord may be used to ignite the main core at the starting point. In addition when the metal igniter cord connector is properly attached to the end of the safety fuse with a ring type crimp it protects the powder core from moisture and thus tends to eliminate the cause of missed holes.

Book 3.
It is lined by the thin connective tissue layer called the endosteum. the outer surfaces of the epipyses are also formed of compact bone. However their central regions are filled with interconnecting plates of spongy bone.

Book 4.
This is because they play a fundamental role in sustaining marine food webs. By feeding on microscopic Phytoplankton and Zooplankton they converted it into flesh that larger fish marine mammals and sea birds can eat. The mighty schools that attracted fishers and drew hosts of predators.

Book 5.
On the other hand making the present seem inevitable robs history of all its life and much of its meaning. History is contingent upon the action of people. "The duty of the historian" Gorton Craig has reminded us, "is to restore the past the options it once had.

Well there you have it, hope it wasn't to dull.
If you happen by and wish to play, be my guest.

Thank you so much for playing Karl!
My guesses on the books:
1. Dictionary, obviously
2. Safety book for explosives
3. Anatomy book
4. Marine biology book
5. no bloody clue - that one stumped me. Something about societal behavior.
How did I do?
