The Forger's Spell: A True Story of Vermeer, Nazis,and the Greatest Art Hoax of the Twentieth Century, by Edward Dolnick

Think American history, European history, Dutch history, art history . . . This is what I'm reading now (only about 125 pages into it) -- on top of the pile of other books I haven't read yet.



Rules:
* Get the book nearest to you. Right now.
* Go to page 56.
* Find the 5th sentence.
* Write this sentence - either here or on your blog.
* Copy these instructions as commentary of your sentence.
* Don't look for your favorite book or your coolest but really the nearest.
