Book meme in honor of banned books week
Via bibliovixen:
* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions if you want to.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
Nearest book: The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing
Page 56, fifth sentence: Peter, disgusted by the leftists' weekend orgies, secretly makes contact with the local African agitators, whose leader is a cook at the hotel. [This sentence is the main character's tongue-in-cheek synopsis of her novel for her agent. This book is the most meta thing I've ever read.]
