Grab the nearest book (not one you've selected, just the one closest to you) and go to the 13th Chapter (or the 13th page if you don't have 13 chapters) and go to the 13th sentence and write it down along with the book title: Circle Of Friends Quote: Benny wasn't praying.

Democracy and its Discontents, Daniel J. Boorstin Quote: Here was a hint, too-in the age of Baron de Montesquieu, Davin Hume, Adam Smith, and Edward Gibbon-a hint of the rise of the new social sciences, which were less intent on moralizing than on describing the forces at work in society.

Dark Heresy: The Radical's Handbook Quote: It is my belief that those with whom Denn is undoubtedly alignedwish to subvert the mission of the Voice to their own ends. Technically, that was the closest book. If you want one that's not a game manual: A Brief History of the Samurai: A New History of the Warrior Elite Quote: His brief reign was scrubbed from Japanese history and Prince Oama was enthroned as Emperor Temmu (r. 673-86). This sentence was technically on page 14, but is was the 13th sentence counting from the beginning of page 13. |

I get confused with these anymore. How does this work for e-readers? I can assume the closest book is the one I'm currently reading, but the page numbers are fuzzy, since the page breaks in the print-published book often fall mid-page when the e-book re-paginates based on font size. So there's no way to tell where the "real" page 13 starts, and the e-reader top of page 13 could be any number of places based on what size my text is. |

Is this the red hardback text with the picture of a rollercoaster on the cover? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Technique and Theory "Once this training methodology is adopted and ingrained it is only a short step to prepare a student for MMA competition."
