Found this at My Life and Boring Times - Golfwidow's Ministry of Silly Walks:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal ... along with these instructions.

Ok - here goes. The Book is Lark Rise to Candleford by Flora Thompson

"The 'privies' were as good an index as any to the characters of their owners.'

Amazing.
