(with-open [r (reader "FILE")]
   (str-join ", "
     (take 5 (drop 5 (line-seq r)))))

This still does the work of finding all the \ns that you skip, of  
course. Linewise navigation of a file is not as fast as seeking to  
byte offsets.

(with-open [#^Reader r (reader "FILE")]
   (with-open [lr (java.io.LineNumberReader. r)]
     (.setLineNumber lr 5)
     ;; Your code here.
     )))
