According to somebody's status on Facebook, it's "national book week",
so you have to post the 5th sentence of the 52th page of the nearest
book to you. (Yeah, right!)
Unfortunately, in my case that's
"Because of the mutual recursion, as well as the function each uses to
make progress, it must also be given the function it must pass to its
partner; therefore, both take the same pair of functions."
Rather unsurprising, really. o_O

Het /Organon/ heeft niet als doel om lezers te vertellen wat waar is,
maar om in methoden te voorzien om de waarheid te onderzoeken en de
wereld te begrijpen.
or
The /Organon/ is not intended to tell readers what is true, but to
provide methods to investigate the truth and understand the world.

"It doesn't pay to rob trains."
from "Holding up a train" in a collection of O. Henry works. It's page
52 on my particular setting of font and margin size for the ebook in my
smartphone. ;)

Last year I did this and lucked out that my copy of "Being and
Nothingness" was nearby. I think I got the pretty awesome sentence:
"Nothingness lies coiled in the heart of being -- like a worm."
This year I was not so fortunate:
"Let g be a multivariate function of n variables and let f be a vector
function such that f = (f_1(θ), f_2(θ) ... f_n(θ))^T with each f_i a
univariate function of the scalar θ."

The nearest book to me is my Nook, which has, well, several hundred
(quite possibly over a thousand) texts on it. Gutenberg FTW (plus a good
number of freebies from B&N as well as some that I've purchased from
them). :)
I wonder how I should select one. I've got three that I'm currently
actively reading - the others, largely are there for reference and as an
"if I get around to it" list.

Sounds like a book about dating.

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.
