1. Take five books off your bookshelf.
2. Book #1 -- first sentence
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred
5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book
7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph:

There are so many sunflowers available that listing varieties would be a disservice. At a grunted signal from Andy Dalziel, they turned their faces to the rising fell and went to keep their rendezvous on Beulah Height.
(Books are: Why Mermaids Sing, C.S. Harris; Bossypants, Tina Fey; Landscape and Memory, Simon Schama; Your Farm in the City, Lisa Taylor; On Beulah Height, Reginald Hill. They were really (pretty much) the five nearest books.)
