Nearest Book Thing

(with thanks to Facebook)
Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence in a comment, here.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

I'll go first with the one I needed to use when posed this question in Facebook, moments ago, though it's not too exciting.

Scouting Bound.

From believe it or not a scouting songbook that I had up against my monitor here at school.

It was from the song We're on the Upward Trail.

I believe it. Though (all of these) perhaps even funnier without context or name of book.

Awesome, awesome. I think this is becoming the lyrics to a new song.
