Destructions:
1. Take five (random!) books off your bookshelf. (I grabbed the top six of a stack, and eliminated the second one by the same author, to add variety.)
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

The five books, in order, are:
The Golden Globe, by John Varley
The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag, by Robert A. Heinlein
Facets, by Walter Jon Williams
Coming Into The Country, by John MacPhee
The Withdrawing Room, by Charlotte MacLeod
