• Turn to page 56.
• Find the fifth line.
• Post that line AS YOUR SUBJECT LINE. AND POST these instructions in a cut-tag to this status....

Considering I'm at work, it's just not as fun since my title line would read "The second column fills with text, as shown in Figure 2-11, but nothing more"

Heh. I have to admit that I cheated and used this ebook but it's what I'm reading at the moment and it is the closest from my computer.
Otherwise, it would be "aspirate / absaugen" (Ernst, Dictionary of Engineering and Technology) ;o)

I picked up the nearest book, "Jargon Alert, your guide to understanding Eurospeak". It only has 50 pages.

I'm sitting right next to my bookcase, so there really is not one book that can be considered closer than any of the others.

Sit up straight, look squarely at the bookcase and take the one that's in line with and at the height of your nose.

"of Charles de Gaulle to concede to student demands for reform"
(The whole sentence spans several lines, so I felt quoting all of it would be cheating.)

Page 56 of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book is blank! :(

'The initial effect here is typical of that produced by some of Donne's compressed and torturously phrased poems'.

Mmm, lovely. The only book to hand was 'Critical Issues: John Donne'. HOW exciting!
