The nearest books are on a bookshelf. It's difficult to say which one is
"nearest" to me. How do I choose?
And I assume comic books don't count.

The door, its frame, the skirting-boards, the boarded-up fireplace, the
cupboard under the window were all painted yellow.
My wife's copy of "The hand that first held mine." by Maggie O'Farrell
My books are all tucked up in my Sony eReader.
Oh! The first book in my calibre library is Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany.

I cheated. There's a dozen books in a bookshelf in front of me, but I
picked the most interesting book. Fortunately, page 52 is the page on
red-black trees...

Not unless you're going to quote the picture. ;-)

OK, 52nd page, 5th sentence:
"Many motherboards provide what is claimed to be hardware RAID."
From _The Advanced Linux Pocket Guide_.
That's about equidistant from me as my Nook, and isn't the copy of the
2nd edition of "Human Capital Analytics", which might be difficult to
identify the 5th sentence in (many of the pages have formulas on them).

By using that method, the 5th sentence on page 52 would be:
"Here, in this chapter, flowers are seducing us, drawing us in, step by
step, lining our path to that understanding."
Not bad, actually.
