Okay, try this:

Grab the nearest book, turn to page 23 and post the 5th complete sentance here. I'll go first:

"They knew Umialik had chosen Qayaq to be his son-in-law and that Umialik would not hunt anymore that day."

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 currently reading. Hope that's okay, Truman. Love this thread.

"The band of soldiers calling themselves the Green Mountain Boys took their name from the Green Mountains of which present-day state?"

Fun idea, Truman!  :)

I was sure that when she stepped upon the stage it would be like putting a match to the wick, and I would flare up, golden and incandescent but somehow painfully and shamefully bright; and my family and my beau would shrink away from me, appalled.

My nearest non-fiction, non-magazine, non-poetry book was The Chronicles of Narnia.  Page 23 is in Chapter 2 (Digory and his Uncle) of The Magician's Nephew.  The fifth complete sentence is a line of dialogue.

If there are any dangers Over There - well, it would be a pity to arrive a moment too late.

Debit risk exposure is created as the debit is subject to the right of return of the paying bank, meaning that the paying bank has the right not to honor an ACH debit.



The nearest book to me is a training manual on the job.

Or was it that the kitchen reminded Dalgliesh of that rectory kitchen where the lonely only child had found warmth and undemanding, uncensorious companionship, been given hot dripping toast and small forbidden treats?
