The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Find a quote from page 56.
Check out the links for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Participants don't select their favorite, coolest, or most intellectual books, they just use the one they are currently reading. This is the book I'm reading right now:

Book Title: Girl Waits With Gun by Amy Stewart
Book Beginnings:
Our troubles began the summer of 1914, the year I turned thirty-five. The Archduke of Austria had just been assassinated, the Mexicans were revolting, and absolutely nothing was happening at our house, which explains why all three of us were riding to Paterson on the most trivial of errands.
Friday 56:
I had made one small miscalculation in confronting Mr. Kaufman and brought a little trouble our way as a result.
Comment: The book is based on a real story about a woman who became the first female deputy sheriff. So far I am enjoying it.
