Literary Meme

While looking at other entries for Thursday Challenge I came across this on the Brew*Crew's blog. Usually I don't invite myself to play along with things like this, but this was quick so I decided to see what it would unearth.

The rules are:

• grab the book closest to you
• open it to page 161
• find the fifth full sentence
• post the text of the sentence to your blog
• don't search around for the coolest book you have, use the one that is really next to you.

I'm at work, and I've got lots of manuals around but the closest book is the mystery I'm reading. The fifth full sentence on page 161:

"I don't remember what being forty looks like," Judith admitted.

Just for the record, I do remember what being forty looks like.
