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.")

There were no books handy to my desk when I read this. I fear this may be indicative. (And the first one that caught my eye afterwards was Origen. NO.)

On the other hand, what I was READING at the time was Lord Peter. Let's give that a shot.

"This is the most unkindest cut of all, / Except your skill be mathematical."

...

On second thought, shoulda gone with Origen.

With Origen? "...but the one who does not believe but pretends to worship them through cowardice, which he calls an accommodating temper, so that he may seem to be religious like most other people, does not worship idols but only bows down to them."
