1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! just pick up whatever is closest.
I ended up with Halo: The Fall of Reach.
;>_> Don't judge me.
<begin sentences>
John's velocity now almost matched that of the ship. He eased toward the hull - twenty meters, ten, five... and then the Covenant ship started to pull away from him. It was travelling too fast. He tapped his attitude thrusters and pointed himself perpendicular to the hull. The Covenant hull accelerated under him... but he was dropping closer.
<end sentences>
"John", incidentally, is the Master Chief. The novels freely discuss his real name, and have extended sequences where he does stuff with his helmet off, just to rub it in.
Nothing in here about tagging dudes, so anybody who wants to do it can go ahead, I guess. :P

Doesn't have me terribly excited for the plot of Halo: Reach, but at least the gameplay looks cool.
Halo books are pretty good, I preferred the first three to the stuff that came after, though Fall of Reach is probably my favourite.
