"Find the nearest book to you, turn to page 45, and read the first sentence: this describes your sex life in 2012."
Since I don't have a sex life, this is purely for amusement purposes. And it's plenty amusing. I'm sitting right next to a full bookcase, so nearest doesn't exactly apply. Have a selection.
The lady in black and her friend had always been very fond of the Città Vecchia. -- Which is eh enough, except that the book was published in 1897. Giovanni and the Other, Frances Hodgson Burnett
Anne's stunning announcement put my brain on HOLD. -- *snerk* Who's Anne? Magnificat, Julian May (the UK paperback)
Who was that man? -- *howls with laughter* Tales of the Restoration, David & Karen Mains, Ill. Diana Magnuson
New species these days tend to be invertebrates. -- Now that's just disturbing. Swimming with Piranhas at Feeding Time, Richard Conniff
"You'll never make a jeweller," he whispered to her. -- Well, no, probably I won't! The Door into Sunset, Diane Duane
And that's enough of that.

That is ... scary. I suppose it could have been worse; the next closest book was a text on theoretical basis for calculus. Not even gonna open that one.
