MEME!

Grab the nearest book, flip to page 117, the second sentence is your life in 2017

There were three books on my kitchen table, marginally the closest was The Outsorcerer's Apprentice by Tom Holt:

"You'll have to buy a new one, or borrow one from somewhere."

Words to live by...

I go by - nearest book in my line of sight at the moment of looking for a book. I tend to exclude phone books, dictionaries etc. from these searches on the grounds of silliness. So for example there was actually another book very slightly closer than The Outsorcerer's Apprentice, but it was concealed by my laptop's screen and I didn't notice it until after I'd made the choice.

Okay: Chicago Manual of Style: A, Side-view pontograph of two flowers illustrating the corolla hairs and stigma. (What can I say? If I'm at my desk, I'm very likely to look for a book, and at the moment what I have there is nearly all professional. A few weeks back it might have been Sinisalo's The Core of the Sun, which might have produced quite different results.)

OK, got to admit I have no idea what this implies about 2017, except that you'll probably approach it grammatically.
