Haven't done this one in a while...

Grab the nearest book.
* Open it to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the next few sentences.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

I have to cheat slightly - there aren't 5 sentences on p. 56 of the nearest book.

"Although for 55 years professor of Geology at Cambridge, he never forgot his birthplace. The tall house on the main street of Dent once had first floor galleries where the celebrated local knitters would sit and work. This was a thriving cottage industry which involved women, children, and even men driving cattle to market knitting simple garments in order to augment meager income."

Fascinating stuff, really.
