Allright, here we go again!

Celebrate the international bookweek! Grab the book nearest to you, look up page 52 and pick out the fifth sentence! Don't tell the title of the book!

Hi everyone, here goes mine;

"There were still some fools belonging to the afterguard who were only good for heaving on a given rope; there were a dozen or so in either watch whose heads could not stand the swingeing ration of grog and who were continually punished for drunkenness; and there were some remaining hard cases; but on the whole he was pleased with them; a very decent set of men. "
