Book meme (surely a repeat...) from christhomas123

[eldar]

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

Tom Clancy's The Bear and The Dragon is my dubious choice. Rather annoyingly sat on top of Enigma, but beggars can't be choosers....

"A sip and a chuckle from the American."

...is the sentence in question.
