Phrase from nearest book meme

Apparently, some meme is doing the rounds again.

  1. Grab the nearest book.
  2. Open it to page 56.
  3. Find the fifth sentence.
  4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
  5. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

My result:

"The general secretary smiled to show he knew the Owl was not sleeping."
- The Altman Code, Robert Ludlum

"Why?"

-Java Puzzlers, Joshua Bloch & Neal Gafter

The perfect sentence to summarize the purpose of this book. :)
