Henry started it<\/a>, but Mike decided to tag people, the fiend<\/a>. I hear and obey.
\nSo, this is the meme:<\/p>\n


\nTake ten books, and transcribe the fifth sentence from page fifty six.
\nIn keeping with the 5, 56 thing, Make sure that at least five books are fiction, provide five hints, and pass the meme on to six other bloggers.
\nOnce I’ve removed The Beast from my lap I’ll search out some books…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Far from harming each other, these two inclinations, despite their apparent opposition, seem to walk in mutual agreement and support.<\/li>\n
  2. And at the same time more indirect or glancing parodic relationships may have been at work with several of the other forms of beast poetry which were popular in the Middle Ages, including the most fundamental of them all, the fable.<\/li>\n
  3. Prince Vasili stared at her, then at Boris with a look of enquiry that amounted to perplexity.<\/li>\n
  4. The great family characteristic of the Stanhopes might probably be said to be heartlessness, but this want of feeling was, in the most of them, accompanied by so great an amount of good-nature as to make itself but little noticeable to the world.<\/li>\n
  5. In Table 2.4 by fixing margins of M.S we can fit the logistic model with the term M+S in Table 2.6.<\/li>\n
  6. From the start of the war the only hope of victory which the Greeks ever had lay in help from Pallas.<\/li>\n
  7. I was already stealing money off me mum to pay for me smack at the time.<\/li>\n
  8. Many cases are on record showing how complex and unexpected are the checks and relations between organic beings, which have to struggle together in the same country.<\/li>\n
  9. McCune’s study thus represents a first attempt to disentangle the interactive effects of genetic and environmental factors on individual behavioural characteristics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. It said “The cazzo<\/em> is our ultimate weapon against humanity”!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      As it happens, these are all on my “still to read” list. As to the hints:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. It’s rather embarrassing that 8 (and 3) are still to be read.<\/li>\n
      2. 9 will<\/del> may help me understand The Beast (although not that chapter, so much)<\/li>\n
      3. As far as I know, five of the authors are dead.<\/li>\n
      4. One is an edited volume.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. I suspect number 2 is a description of my heritage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          And I’ll tag the following bloggers:
