It's international book week. The rules: Grab the closest book to you, turn to page 52, post the 5th sentence. Don't mention the title. Copy the rules as part of your post.

Page 52 is blank. Page 53 has four complete sentences, and the first word of a fifth: "Books". That looks promising.

Books assured me, in ways no other source -- not films or friends or psychotherapists or priests -- could do, that life could unfold otherwise; and in response to them I would yearn anew toward transformations of generally the most impractical kind.

My bibliomancy continues to be ridiculously on-the-nose.
