So I was just on Facebook, and saw something that Quislet Esq. posted which I thought would actually be a lot more fun over here. Hope you don't mind me stealing this, Quis:
"It's National Book Week. (I'm not sure it is, but this is fun to do) The rules: Grab the closest book to you. Go to page 56. Copy the 5th sentence."
As Quis surmised, it is not in fact, "National Book Week" - which is either in May or November - depending on who you ask, but this type of random thought generator seemed perfect for the MMB.
So, up first:
"It is likely that the bag that was given was the same bag as that which one was left holding."

It seems to be National Book Week on Facebook every four or five weeks!

Oh Exnihil, I am just furious, absolutely livid that you would do this here.
Well, the book I used on Facebook is still the nearest, but I will use the next nearest.

Just got a new book in the mail, so:
