Favourite Opening Lines
arkhym:
When I was at school studying english Literature my teacher once said that one of the most important parts of any book, play or poem is the opening line. With this line you could lose or gain your readers. Now I'm not sure I agree with him completely but I do remember my favourite opening line from a book. It was from The Gunslinger by Stephen King:
"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed"
negative creep:
"Call me Ishmael."
Avec:
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Scandanavian War Machine:
"we were somewhere just outside Barstow, in the desert, when the drugs began to take hold"
KickThatBathProf:
"I sent one boy to the gaschamber at Huntsville"
