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*.

I reached, and lo! there was a stack. Here are the 2 with words on page 56:

Unfortunately, there's no such easy cure for facials, but you've acquired various coping strategies over the past four years in DBA: a ristretto and a trip to the bathroom first, so you're awake and comfortable; a copy of the agenda and a full battery charge on your old-fashioned folio, so you can scribble notes on it and do what-if modeling on the fly; and a chunk of time allocated ahead of schedule so you know what the hell you're meant to be talking about. -- HaltinG StatE, Charles Stross (Just discovered this writer--I tore through The Atrocity Archives and The Jennifer Morgue in a couple of days; this one is almost as good.)

The bases of the Nillsonia leaves are broad, so it seems likely that the stem was a stout structure. --The Encyclopedia of Pre-Historic Life (Bought at Half Price Books because it was old enough to have line drawings of dinosaurs and bones, which I want to use for my chasing and repoussage project this semester.)

Your sentences are way cooler than my sentences! And yes, Charles Stross is a wonder.
