Book Meme

I've lost track of who started this meme, but I've seen it all over the place. So what the hell, I'll play along:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

From Founding Brothers:

"He did not think of this course of action as suicidal, but as another gallant gamble of the sort he was accustomed to winning."
