fun book meme! yay!

Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence along with these instructions in a note to your blog. (Or post a comment here)
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

Mine:

(p. 56 had a large illustration with only one sentence. No apparent rule for that eventuality, but here it is.)

"The overhangs help shade a large expanse of glass, making the house cooler in summer but still allowing filtered sunlight inside."
