I'm going to post a book quote here to start and I'll give you the book title and author, page number and sentence number. Then I'll post a page number and sentence number for the next person to post a quote from their book, etc. etc.

This is a little difficult for me as I read using a Kindle these days but there are a few paperbacks still lingering around the house so I'll give it a go:
In softball games, I learned to hit from both sides of the plate, because of the peculiar configuration of the field at P.S.98.
John MacEnroe autobiography You Cannot Be Serious.
next person quote from page 21 sentence 4 (I think).

I have a lot of electronic books too. Some Kindle books have page numbers and some just have location numbers, for some strange reason. It's OK to use an electronic book as long as it has a page number.

No I don't have page numbers, it just shows percentage read. I suppose I can count the pages as long as we stay in the early part of the book lol. This is another paperback anyway. The Cloud Book by Richard Hamblyn.
As the congestus clouds continue to build, their tops begin to lose the clearly defined 'cauliflower' appearance, becoming smoother and more consolidated, which, for cloud identification purposes, is the moment when a cumulus congestus classification gives way to cumulonimbus calvus, calvus deriving from the Latin word for 'bald'.
Page four sentence one.
