A meme! Via [livejournal.com profile] matociquala:

Pick up the nearest book to you. Turn to page 45. The first sentence describes your sex life in 2012.

"I telephoned Ozanne's secretary and said that I needed to see the colonel on an urgent matter, that it would take about an hour and that I would be grateful if Colonel Pollock could be present."

—Leo Marks, Between Silk and Cyanide: A Codemaker's War, 1941–1945 (1998)

(The follow-up sentence: "I also requested the use of a blackboard.")

The nearest book to me was The Tragedies of Shakespeare, which was still on my desk from having written Macbeth fic during Yuletide. So I get:

My heart beats thicker than a fevrous pulse;
And all my powers do their bestowing lose,
Like vassalage at unawares encountering
The eye of majesty.

From Troilus and Cressida. Er. That . . . could be good or bad, depending?
