GR Magazine discussion

Here's a fun game that I discovered in another group. Grab the book nearest you and open it to page 50. Find the 5th sentence then post it. You can let us know what book the sentence is from or you can be mean and make us wonder.
Here's mine:
"I've been tuned in to 'The Guiding Light' for twenty-four years, since I was ten years old and listening to it on Mama's radio."
(from "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett.

"Ah, they don't write tunes like that any more." (From "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" by Jean Shepherd.)

"In the narrow ribbon of smoky blue sky overhead, a red object soared in a gentle arc through the air." (From "You Might As Well Die," by J.J. Murphy.)
