Fifth on Fifty-Six

In response to shatterstripes, ceruleanst, and tracerj simultaneously:

• Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
  
  • I mean it. Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the closest.
    
  • ...straight line to the centroid of your head, if you have to ask.
  
  
• Turn to page 56.
  
  • Count if you have to. Start on the first page (including the title) of Chapter One, and remember to count both sides of the page.
  
  
• Find the fifth sentence.
  
  • No, a colon doesn't end a sentence.
    
  • Yes, a question-mark ends a sentence.
  
  
• Post that sentence along with these instructions on your LJ.

"All part of the show."

(Dag, two fifty-plus word sentences to start the page and I hit the five-word? The book is Rhyme's Reason, John Hollander.)
