Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

This game is going around a few other groups and it is really fun.
The first person(me) types a sentence from a book they are reading, then says a page number and sentence number.
The next person looks for the sentence in their book and types it, then gives a page and sentence number for the next person to find.
So, I'll start.
