Random page, random line


From Caterina.net:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

I have many books, but which one is the nearest?

The nearest thing resembling a book is the manual for Baldur's Gate II, a game so massive I wonder if I'll ever complete it:

"Formation movement is accomplished by R-clicking and holding (for rotation of the formation), or L-clicking, both only when a group is selected."

The closest non-manual book must be A Canticle for Liebowitz, by Walter M. Miller, Jr., setting a record for "the farthest relative distance between my desk and the closest book," at one step away:

"He built his fire on the slop of the rubble pile, where it could brighten the darker crannies of the antechamber."

Be careful, dear Francis.
