Book week meme from Facebook

[wellinghall]

It's International Book Week. The rules: Grab the closest book to you, turn to page 52, post the 5th sentence as your status. Don't mention the title. Copy the rules as part of your post:

"It's all nonsense, and you must give them up!"

That seems a bit radical, surely?

I'm still not sure whether that is a comment on the sentece I quoted, or your own page 52 sentence 5 entry!

I was commenting on the sentence you quoted when interpreted in the light of a status report!
I wasn't going to do the meme but here you go: nearest book (cheating slightly, because I'm not sure precisely which one that is): oh, oops, it's a book of poetry and there is actually no fifth sentence (cheating again):
...shake hands with our old selves, the ones whose names we have forgotten...

Thank you, both for the explanation and for the sentence :-)

...the nearest book to me belongs to prince_eldarion!
