no books by you at work?

There are always books at work. They're just not quite as interesting. For example:

"X3J13 voted in March 1989 (89) to extend fmakunbound to accept any function-name (a symbol or a list whose car is setf -- see section 7.1)."

Guy Steele Jr., Common Lisp: The Language, 2nd Edition.

but you see, that is the fun of it, why they tell you not to choose a book, but take the one closest to you... if I had not been reading Harry Potter, you guys would have actually gotten Gross Anatomy Text...

well, the nearest book to me has no words on page 123, only pictures. And in fact it only has a page 123 because it's a collection of six Leo Lionni children's stories, not just one.

The next nearest book: Mirror Mirror by Gregory Maguire.

"In stage II each phone carrier i takes all access charges as given and chooses its phone call price pi to maximize pii given in (5.25)."
Shy, Oz. "The Economics of Network Industries." Cambridge University Press, 2001.

Praise the lord you didn't ask for the 4th or 6th sentences on page 123. Suffice to say either of them would require three-line brackets and a significant portion of the Greek alphabet, plus several arithmetic operators.

ok
