Okay, I had to steal this idea from bronze_ribbons.
Pick up the book nearest to you. Turn to page 45. The first sentence there describes your sex life in 2012.
The first time I tried this, my sentence was
"Serving British Columbia, including Vancouver Island & the Gulf Islands."
which is funny enough, although it occurs to me that my alleged sex life in 2012 sounds more than a little exhausting and might not leave me much time for anything else.
But then after chuckling over this for a couple of hours, I tried it again with a different book, and I got THIS quite long sentence, which does rather seem to support the general theme:
"This one had the same thing Nora had, such a total awareness of herself as a woman, such a directed pride in being a desirable woman, that every small fastidiousness was almost ritualistic, from a stone-clean scalp to glossy pedicure, all so scented and cared for that, as is the case with the more celebrated beauties, the grooming itself forms a small barrier against boldness, against unwelcome intrusion."
Oh my. I think I'd better go get a pedicure and try to come up with ways to break this news gently to my husband.
I'm quite jealous of the one you got, since mine is all about serving and grooming.
Your grade 11 parenting class? Aren't you glad that no one could read your mind! Or rather, you should hope that no one could read your mind...
*squnits* I'm not sure what to think of mine.
Don't let that be you! Pick another book, dammit!
Okay, I offically don't like this game and I'm never leaving the house again. :(
"Hours. Maybe three."
...Maybe I should go for second-nearest, as this one was in the desk I'm sitting at. *stares at the stack of three on the nearby chair*
Here goes then:
Oh, wait, I forgot textbooks aren't books"She immediately realized that Fred was no longer wrapped around her arm."
... Not that one.
"On the farm thus acquired John Ferrier built himself a substantial log house, which received so many additions in succeeding years that it grew into a roomy villa."
...Forget it. I'll stick with the first one- The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle's collection and Jayne Ann Krentz didn't help a yot.
"Throughout his career, Freud often proposed theories without much clinical or experimental evidence to support them."
First one's still better.
Fifth furthest book
And the last book in my room at the momentwasn't any better either:"How did you get here?" - Compass Rose by Ursula K. LeGuin
I've got "He also had a nasty scar down his face, leaving one empty eye socket and a permanent sneer." I am not a shallow person, but the empty eye socket is going to take some getting used to...I'm very squicky about eye-related things.
Geez, what a sentence to get about your sex life in 2012. I advise you to turn out the lights and/or keep your eyes closed as much as possible. And make him wear a patch!
At least you didn't get one with your mom in it.
(School has begun again)
I just wanted to pop in for a moment and give you the sentence I got:
"Mother said he was quite right to make me swear, and that it was a sign of his passion."
O_O
Man... Sherlock Holmes has it going on!
:P

Let's see what a different books gets me:
"Alive in his swimming pool. Heated the water to boiling point and pushed him in, or something like."
Um... This doesn't look good... one more time?
"How are the senses piqued and sharpened in the total darkness of the woods!"
O_O Sounds... interesting...
Let's just stick with the one with the dirty talk and the passion!

"Ich wachte auf, weil mir schrecklich heiß war."
In english: "I woke up because I felt so hot."
WTF?! ;D Sounds like sexy dreams! xD Well, could have been worse. I'm looking forward to 2012.
