Meme from telophase:

Grab the book nearest you. Right now. Turn to page 56. Find the fifth sentence. Post that sentence along with these instructions in your LiveJournal. Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

The closest book, 藍像 Japanese Tattooing: Ransho, is mostly photographs, with no text on page 56, so I went to the next closest:

"4 Finger Dance Deselecting an object, selecting a path, and moving it horizontally"

From Adobe Illustrator CS3 WOW! Book: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques From 100Top Illustrator Artists.
