I grabbed this non-meme from the incomparable
crowyhead. I'm not going to tag anyone on it, so feel free to play along at home. The rules go as follows:
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you
And my literary discovery is from
Edward Bunker's novel
Stark. I hope that you enjoy it.

The idea came with startling suddenness. In an instant, he had the whole plan, and after a more deliberate examination and certain modifications and additions it got even better."
