The world book day game

[Ezteq]

some of you may have seen this on friendface:

Find the book nearest to you, turn to page 56 then find sentence 5 and write it as your status. Put the game rules as a comment. Needs to be the book nearest to you, not your favourite.

So go on then, find it and post it here:

"At the end of the eighteenth centuary, when science had contributed so triumphantly both to man's knowledge of the world and to man's knowledge of his own physical attributes, it began to be asked whether science could not also further man's knowledge of society."

Tim tiptoed on

I recently rebought the first ever books I can really remember "getting into". I was very much turned off reading by Janet and John but I remember reading the Tim and Tobias books when I was about 7 or 8ish and loving them. So the above is from Tim and Tobias - Magic in the Wind by Sheila K. McCullagh.
