Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

"The pillow crackled like a wad of straw."

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

I was entirely shocked to find that the closest book to me was not a knitting book or a cook book, but was in fact a real book worth reading! :P

Of course, the sentence is not: "Nighttime." :P

(The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Jean-Dominique Bauby, which I haven't actually read yet.)
