‘Baaah’ — 23rd Page

I wasn’t going to, but I couldn’t res­ist! The instruc­tions are:

  1. Grab the nearest book.
  2. Open the book to page 23.
  3. Find the fifth sentence.
  4. Post the text of the sen­tence on your blog along with these instructions.

Here’s mine:

There were enough exiles, it was reckoned, to sup­port a journal in any one of these lan­guages, not to men­tion the new floods that were com­ing in every week.

Does any­one recog­nise the book? It is not the one I am read­ing now, but the one I fin­ished yes­ter­day. Yes, I know that doesn’t help.
Hat tip to Matt

  2. I’ve seen you readed the Gaean Tri­logy! I just LOVE these books! I star­ted with the third one, con­tin­ued with the second and now I am read­ing the first part. I didn’t mean to do but i just found the third book by chance some­where :) Its just great!!

  3. Saw your site and decided to do what you had suggested.

    Page 23, 5th sen­tence of which book.…??

    “Tonight, three thou­sand miles from home, the accol­ade had resur­faced
    to haunt him at the lec­ture he had given.”

    Or was it fifth line??

    “If Boston Magazine could see me now.”
