Grab the book nearest you. Right now. Turn to page 56. Find the fifth sentence. Post that sentence along with these instructions in your LiveJournal. Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

In my case a close tie so have added both :)

"Healing occurs in the process of relinquishing whatever interferes with compassion."
Ecstatic Body Postures by Belinda Gore (introduction by Felicitas Goodman), section on the Carchi Woman Posture, based on an Ecuadorian pottery figure.

"Thorolf sought Bjorn's friendship and followed him round everywhere."
Egil's Saga 35, from the Sagas of Icelanders.

The other one that could've qualified for me was The Art of Computer VIrus Research and Defence by Peter Szor. It had a sentence regarding viruses using the high level API to interact with file systems and thus not generally caring whether you use FAT, NTFS, or a network share.

The next sentence in Egil's saga then involves Bjorn striking Thorolf on the head and Thorolf falling dead? *remembering Njal's Saga.
