Book meme

The blog of Mariano Iglesias pointed me to a little game that is interesting. The rules:

  1. Grab the nearest book.
  2. Open it to page 56.
  3. Find the fifth sentence.
  4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
  5. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

Here is my meme:

“You must make it very clear that this code is disposable, incomplete, and unable to be completed.”
The Pragmatic Programmer, Andrew Hunt & David Thomas

A couple of people did it already and it is fun to see what they picked and what sentence it is become when you remove it out of its context.
