Taken from Matt McGrattan\'s blog :
 
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

I get :  \"Despite these prospects, the Iveys desperately needed gigs to survive\".

(from \"Without You : The tragic story of Badfinger\" by Dan Matovina)
