Book meme

The blog of Mariano Iglesias pointed me to a little game that is interesting. The rules:
- Grab the nearest book.
- Open it to page 56.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
- 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.
