OK. From Game Changer by Rachel Reid:

Surely Kip wasn't looking at a life of attending events together, but arriving separately and pretending not to know each other.

Aaaargh!!!!

I didn't do too well either. The first complete sentence on page 206 in the book which happened to be next to me, Memories of the Afterlife, edited by Michael Newton PhD, reads:

He does not want to be here; he never wanted to come.

"Nicola brought him back on track"
Not at all likely or helpful

It's German, but here's a translation :

But he said to his wife: "Go home right away and cook the old Sultan some bread and butter, he won't have to chew it. And bring the pillow from my bed; I'll give it to him for his bed!" From then on, the old Sultan had it as good as he could have wished for.

The nearest book to me didn't have that many pages and the one underneath it was a book about the First World War which had a full-page map of a battlefield. So I went in the bedroom and picked up Memoirs of Shelley and other Essays and Reviews by Thomas Love Peacock, opened it at page 206, and ...

​

Yep. That explains my love life quite succinctly. A BLANK PAGE!

 

[Alistair]

Accurate.

The closest to me on the shelf is Titus Livius History of Rome, that didn't work well...
I picked the one I'm currently reading: a poetry book

The foam laughs, goes.

I'm currently reading Unruly by David Mitchell. It's subtitled A History of England's Kings and Queens.

The first sentence on page 206 is "Capturing Arthur was one of John's few successes". John is King John and Arthur is his nephew, Arthur I, Duke of Brittany. Make of that what you will.

From "Far From Paradise" by Daryl Banner: Her gangly man-bunned roommate-slash-classmate SJ, who's been sitting on a stool in the back after helping set up the lighting at the start of the shoot, looks up from his phone.

The first full sentence: The man had no job and no assets.

The second book in the stack of new books was more intriguing: His secret interests were hidden, he believed, inside the other.
