Book Club


Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence along with these instructions in a note to your wall.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

"In October, when the town was still talking about nothing else, they were attacked by pirates."

"Indeed, Theroux's critics felt that the book was little more than a series of sucker punches at Naipaul, an unseemly airing of dirty linen, or as one reviewer wrote, "one long Oedipal screed"".

From "The Forest for the Trees" by Betsy Lerner

"The influence of Grétry as a father figure to young women composers was important, but it did not extend beyond his immediate circle."

From Women Writing Opera, Jacqueline, Letzter and Robert Adelson, eds.


I'm currently working in our music library, so it was a little tough to identify the _closest_ book. I had to reject the first one though, because it was in French, and page 56 contained only 1 complete sentence.
