The rules: Grab the closest book to you, turn to page 52, post the 5th sentence. Don't mention the title. Here's mine:
"Then I'd better hang up and start reading."
(Oooh, isn't that always good advice!)

I reached over to my shelf of books waiting for processing here in the library, and the closest was a graphic novelization of Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.

"In this fallen world we have as our only guides, prudence, wisdom (rare in youth, too late in age), a clean heart, and fidelity of will... "
(oops, edited to take out the title!)
Is there a Tolkien topic that you have wanted to look into more deeply, and write about your thoughts on it? If so, we'd like to hear from you for the next TORn Amateur Symposium- coming in November. Happy writing!

That is from Mr. RD's music stuff right here beside me: A Brief History of Rock 'n' Roll by Nick Johnstone.
What fun, Ioreth!
"It was just a sword, beautiful in the way of a weapon, with the jewels in the hilt set in gold scrollwork, and the blade glimmering and eager, as if it would fight of itself. Weapons are named for this; some are eager fighters, some dogged, some unwilling; but all are alive."--The Hollow Hills

I had to go to page 53 - 52 was a map.
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Deze situaties doen zich steeds vaker voor.
It is from my marketingcommuncations strategy book for school. It is in Dutch, in English it says: "These situations will occur more often". It is about promotions as a marketing tool.

I just shut my eyes and reached toward the bookshelf. The first book I touched was Texas Bug Book--the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Page 52 is about crickets. 
I am SMAUG! I kill when I wish! I am strong, strong, STRONG!
My armor is like tenfold shields! My teeth like swords! My claws, spears!
