So what do you need to do to participate in The Friday 56?
- Go to page 56 (or 56% for e-readers like Kindle and Nook) of the book you're currently reading
- Grab a few sentences to share with your blog's readers, but be sure not to spoil anything too major
- Add your name to the link-up on Freda's blog

The following is dialogue from one of the book's characters, Twom Twomey. He's pretty strange, but I like him so far.
"'Okay, dude, it's like this. My folks are messed up, okay? They're fucking derelicts. The only reason they stay together is because nobody else would have them. Living with relatives is pretty much all I do. Okay?'"
