Here are the rules:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next two to five sentences.
5. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intellectual one. Pick the Closest.

The book is Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote -

Sometimes, stopping there, I shared her wake-up coffee while she dressed for the evening. She was forever on her way out , not always with Rusty Trawler, but usually, and usually, too, they were joined by Mag Wildwood and the handsome Brazilian, whose name was Jose' Ybarra-Jaegar: his mother was German.

If anyone would like to do this meme please take it and let me know so I can come see!
