I've been contributing to this great thread for some time now. If I remember correctly, the first book I quoted was from a dry old text book that was the book located nearest to me at that particular time. Since then, however, my subsequent posts have quoted the 5th complete sentence on the 23rd page of the book I was presently reading or had just finished reading. Hope that's okay, Truman. :D
Here's my latest. It's a re-read for me:
"Once long before, I had asked my father why Zeus made some men to be Hellenes living in cities with laws, some barbarians under tyrants, and others slaves."
