Meme me up, Scottie

I have been tagged by Peter Rozovsky at Detectives Beyond Borders with the following meme:
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.

My answers:1) The book is Sleeping Dogs by Ed Gorman

2) I have just opened it to page 123.
3) I have counted off the first five sentences, which got me to:
4) "Gabe, in his graying ponytail and granny glasses sat at his desk with his feet up reading the Rolling Stone Reader. At least, he wasn't doing any online gambling at the moment, The great Marist who fell for the worse sucker game of all, gambling.
(I think this is a nice little hint on what the book is about).
5 I tag, with apologies, Christa Miller, Graham Powell, Clair Dickson, Steve Allen and Aldo Calgagno.

I think I could guess how old the author is just by the title of the reading matter his character selected there.

Particularly since I used to subscribe to that magazine back in the Seventies.

I'm a fellow taggee of Peter's.

hey, linkmeister. I think I did too. Or at least the regular Rolling Stone. And then again, when my kids read it. I'm going to see what you chose.

Try to put a comment on your blog but it didn't take.

It took. There are so many entries (6+ years!) that it takes a while to update. I'm not sure how to go about speeding it up without putting some archives offline, so I haven't done anything about it.
