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.

"It may be that he feared him little, for he had as yet no proof of the swords of the Noldor; and soon it was seen that he purposed to drive them back into the sea."

EXCELLENT!!! I just got the illustrated edition for Christmas, I read through most of it again. Shweet...

Have you ever listened to it read aloud? There's a wonderful version of The Silmarillion on audiobook, read by Martin Shaw. Its rich and melodic and has the cadence of oral tradition. Beautiful. I highly recommend purchasing the CD set when you get the chance.

Since there aren't five sentences on page 123....
