A Very Strange Book Meme
Friday, December 5, 2008 at 11:01PM I’ve been tagged by David Heddle for this meme. I am compelled to follow these instructions.
Take ten books, and transcribe the fifth sentence from page fifty six.
In keeping with the 5, 56 thing, Make sure that at least five books are fiction, provide five hints, and pass the meme on to six other bloggers.
So here goes:
Ten fifth sentences from page 56 of ten books
- He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell.
- They will always send you free books.
- Whatever happened, he must take some action, or else …
- “I lost ten for passive-voice, too,” Maya said.
- Only in recent times (and the rumors I had heard were vague) his star at court had waned, he had had to leave Avignon, and the Pope had this indomitable man pursued as a heretic who per mundum discurrit vagabundus.
- I’m sure you would rather turn around.
- He looked around for the bird now because he would have liked him for company.
- Accordingly, the doctrine of the Trinity and the doctrine of redemption, historically, stand or fall together.
- O’Kane climbed the ladder from the conning tower to the bridge, where he soon stood beside Bill Leibold, whom he regarded as his “extra pair of eyes.”
- God’s Word in the Old Testament is his creative utterance, his power of action fulfilling his purpose.
Five hints (I’ve updated by giving the numbers of the lines the hints go with)

- You would expect David Heddle to have at least one book by this author. (4)
- I know at least one person who is reading this book right now. (1)
- I think this book is stolen. (2)
- Yes, it’s by a Russian. (3)
I hate tagging people, but it would ruin the pattern of the meme if I didn’t, wouldn’t it?
- Brandon Watson
- Dorothy
- Kim in Ontario
- Rey
- Catez (As a means of soliciting a post.)
- Scott McClare (Because he should post more, too.)
