If it's Friday, then not only is it time for the Hop, but it is also time for the Friday 56 (a bookish meme brought to me by A Simple Love of Reading).
Here are the Rules:
*Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
*Turn to page 56.
*Find the fifth sentence.
*Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have a blog) in the comment section of this blog.
*Post a link on your post back to this blog.
*Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
Here's mine from Death of a Dude by Rex Stout:
And it stayed no, though I spent ten minutes trying to budge her. I returned the sawbuck to my wallet. It wouldn't have done any good to double it or even make it a hundred; she wasn't going to risk being asked questions in the courtroom even if I swore on ten saddles that she wouldn't have to.
