Chris Unitt » Blog Archive » The Page 56 Meme – I like books, so was attracted to this meme when I came across it on Chris Unitt’s blog. Chris got it from Russ L’s blog. Here are the rules:
- Grab the nearest book
- Open it to page 56
- Find the fifth sentence
- Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions
- Don?t dig for your favourite book, the coolest book, or the most intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST
The closest to me is Will Buckingham’s Cargo Fever, which I read ages ago so I’m not sure why it’s on my coffee table. Maybe I was thinking about lending it to someone. It’s a great novel about a highly sexed yeti-type creature romping his way through Kenukecil. Anyway, fifth sentence on page 56 is:
NOTHING. Page 56 is blank. I swear I’m not making this up. I stuck strictly to the rules of the meme and this is what happens.
It’s a well good book though. The pages with typing on are great.
Heh heh heh. This is definitely the best one of these I’ve seen yet.
