Celebrate the international bookweek! Grab the book nearest to you, look up page 52 and pick out the fifth sentence! Don't tell the title of the book!

You admire the fluid symmetry of troops on the move, the harmonies of sound and shape and proportion, the great sheets of metal-fire streaming down from a gunship, the illumination of rounds, the white phosphorous, the purply orange glow of napalm, the rockets red glare.

this one is from school, still closest book
"To Lenin the party must govern on behalf of 'he people', by which he usually ment the proletariat (industrial workers) but sometimes he included peasants"

if my computer worked, I would have got the Asimov Books or the Tolkien ones... But because I have to use my dads computer the school book was the closest.
