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.

(In love? Devil take me if I ever go there!)

-- Jules Barbier/Jacques Offenbach Les Contes d'Hoffmann
