The Random Book Game!!!
I saw this as a Facebook game, and thought it would be cool to adapt for a CP thread!
The Random Book Game
Rules:
*Grab the book closest to you. Now.
*Go to page 56.
*Find the 5th sentence.
*Write that sentence as your post. (Mention which book it's from,too!)
*Don't go looking for your favourite book, or the coolest one you have--just grab the closest one.
I'll go first.
"He falls senseless into their arms, and they convey him from the chamber: the door is locked after them"
- Matthew Lewis - The Castle Spectre (reading for my drama class!)
Enjoy!

Battle Royale - Koushun Takami.
Absolutely messed up book which will never allow me to view Asians the same ever again, but kids with guns slaughtering each other on an Island just seems to fit my sense of humour perfectly.
