I saw you sleeping with your coat on a hill

From [livejournal.com profile] time_shark, a meme. I can't remember if I have done this one before.

Grab the book nearest you. Right now. Turn to page 56. Find the fifth sentence. Post that sentence along with these instructions in your LiveJournal. Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

"They are a form of armadillo, enlarged wood-lice."
—Jane Gardam, Old Filth (2004)

No one ever actually wants me to do this one, because the closest things to me are always the Peter Sotos books that sit on the shelf closest to my hand of the bookshelf closest to the desk.

It doesn't matter which one I pick. Page 56 (and every other page in the book) is guaranteed to offend someone.

There have been times, yeah. Some of the material strikes a little too close to home.
