"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.

Oh, now those are fun. That one about new species immediately had me thinking "tentacles" which resulted in a fit of giggles. Why yes, I am strange...

Such an absurd meme-thingie, but it was fun to randomly open books. :D

Did we seriously just comment on each others' memeage at the very same time? What a night!

I guess octopodes are invertebrates--though they are chordates, aren't they? I was thinking bugs, but hey, I can expand my horizons. :P

Clearly, great minds think alike! :D

Details, details. The point is: weirdness awaits. :p

Tentacle porn has a following in Japan, actually. To make it more bizarre, it's historical, going back a few centuries.

How's that for nightmare material?

Oh sure! I've seen pictures of the old prints. One has to wonder.

It must be all the fishing they did. There's probably some bizarre incident with a fisherman's wife dealing with the catch...

His side flared with pain, and he uttered a short grunt. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Inheritance - Christopher Paolini

You had to specify "book", didn't you?

Web servers and other applications that communicate over the Internet have been often attacked by remote users exploiting buffer overflow vulnerabilities in their code.

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.

Hey, I didn't invent the meme! :D

Sounds like...really subtextual pillow talk for coding geeks?

I don't know. That buffer overflow just brings to mind some unfortunate images.
