"I figured whatever you did had to hurt, like a surgeon stitching you up."

So this is a game that goes around Facebook every so often.

* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence AS YOUR STATUS. AND POST these instructions in a comment to this status.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST book.

And it was, as above: "I figured whatever you did had to hurt, like a surgeon stitching you up."

I totally cheated because I picked up The Healer and the Pirate, which was not only nowhere near me, but was in fact in a sealed box that I had to open. Sorry.
