Is a book-based meme called a beme?

I have no idea where this meme originated, but here goes:

We moved it to "types of marriage and relationships."

- David Weinberger, "Everything is Miscellaneous."

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.

OK, so since I have two books with me today, here's the special bonus edition!

Ditching symbols of Belgian colonialism, Mobutu changed Congo to Zaire, Leopoldville to Kinshasa, and Joseph Mobutu to Mobutu Sese Seko Koko Ngbendu Wa Za Banga - good for him.

- Bob Harris, "Who Hates Whom"
