So I have been tagged by a friend of mine, and this one is a bit different than all the other ones that I have done, and it just so happens that I am currently reading a book for my book club, so I have a book to use. The book that I am reading is obviously not my choice, it is called "Freakonomics". And really it is the most boring book I have ever read, I am not done with it, because it is so boring I don't want to read it, but I really enjoy going to my book club mainly to socialize. I do really love to read. I used to read all the time but since I have had kids and a DVR, I never find the time to read, but I am trying to be better. Anyway here is what it is all about:
Here are the instructions for those who I'm going to tag:
1. Grab your 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.
5. Tag 10 different people. (5 will do too)
(not all the book nerds I know have blogs. But I still choose you.)
"Criminals who would have previously been set free-for drug related offenses and parole revocation in particular were instead locked up. Between 1980 and 2000, there was a fifteenfold increase in the number of people sent to prison on drug charges. Many other sentences, especially for violent crime, were lengthened. The total effect was dramatic." (Freakonomics by Steven D. Leavitt and Stephen J. Dubner)
Now do you see what I mean, by it is such a boring book that I can barely get myself to pick it up and read it.
I tag: Amy Hager, Amber J., Amber S., Amy Hughes, and Dawn H.
Good luck!

Yeah, sounds like I would have a hard time reading that one too! I hope your next book is better.
Snorrrre..............oh, oops...sorry, I think I fell asleep during the reading! Just kidding- although I can't blame you for being bored with that book when I was bored with it in just those three sentences!! Good luck with the next one for book club- hopefully it will be more entertaining than this one!
Lol, I love your comment about how you go to book club to socialize! So funny! I'm not reading anything at the moment, so nothing to report. I wish I was reading something, though! :)
