Best Book Opening Lines
Post your favourite book opening lines here!
For me, the best book opening of all time is from Willam Gibson's Count Zero:
Quote:
THEY set a slamhound on Turner's trail in New Delhi, slotted it to his pheromones and the color of his hair. It caught up with him on a street called Chandni Chauk and came scrambling for his rented BMW through a forest of bare brown legs and pedicab tires. Its core was a kilogram of recrystallized hexogene and flaked TNT.
