Booking Through Thursday - First Lines
Hello everyone and happy Thursday. Welcome again to yet another slightly late Booking Through Thursday. I reckon I should just start calling it “Booking Through Thursday Afternoon” or “Booking Through Close to Friday” just to make it more accurate. But neither of those sound nearly as nice, so we will just ignore them, shall we?
You’ll have to ignore my slightly mad ravings and rantings. I have been working on a massive project since last Saturday and I think it’s finally starting to fry my brain. The sad thing is that it isn’t even done yet… Hm.
Anyway, on to the lovely question prompt for this Thursday. As always, you can respond in the comments section or leave me a lovely linky so I can read what you have to say on your blog.
Here’s another idea about memorable first lines from books.
What are your favourite first sentences from books? Is there a book that you liked specially because of its first sentence? Or a book, perhaps that you didn’t like but still remember simply because of the first line?
There is a first line of a book and I have no idea what the book is, but the line(s) is something like: “I like being dead. I don’t have to answer the telephone that way.” I found that line one day while searching for… something years ago, and I haven’t been able to forget it since.
While I truly love first lines, no others really pop right into my head at the moment. They can truly make a book that much better, but a first line certainly won’t carry a bad book.
What do you think?
