The Friday 56 #3

Third time is a charm, right?  So once again I'm going to participate in The Friday 56, sponsored by Freda's Voice, this time more based on time constraints.  Here is what you do:

Rules:

 *Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
 *Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grabs you.
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url. It's that simple.

 

"All of us," he said.  "All of us are missing the forest for the trees.  All this time we've been fighting these little battles, waging these little acts of defiance.  But a tidal wave is about to hit.  And when it does, you, me--everyone--will be woefully unprepared."

And once again, while you're here, be sure to enter the giveaway I've got going on that ends this weeked:  Banned Books Week Giveaway Hop.
