I felt like going through all my books at hand and seeing what their first lines were!<BR/><BR/>Heather: Yes... a Sanderson fan! Recently, but a fan nontheless! I've got both Elantris and Mistborn 2 dying for me to read them soon.<BR/><BR/>Amy: An award? I guess I better go see what that's about! Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Bluestocking Society: Just mentioning the first line of P and P makes me want to read the whole thing again!<BR/><BR/>Smiling Sal: As I said, only the famous ones really came to mind... I sure I have many other favorites that I couldn't remember!<BR/><BR/>Confuzzled and Zombie: Yes, yes, yes on the Book Thief. Would Markus Zusak PLEASE hurry up and write us another book! PLEASE!!!<BR/><BR/>Serena: Funny you have nightmares from that book! I read it with my 9th grade English class and I remember thinking "good thing we are reading this here 'cause otherwise I wouldn't understand one thing!" But I still loved it. Perhaps because we watched the movie and I fell in love with the guy playing Sydney Carton. Wish I could find that thing and watch it again. <BR/><BR/>THANKS everyone for the fun comments!Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-55534929974668293172008-07-25T07:21:00.000-06:002008-07-25T07:21:00.000-06:00"It was the best of times, it was the worst of tim..."It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" (Tale of Two Cities)...I remember this line not so much because it is a classic, but because it will forever be associated with my English class in high school that was a horrible time for me...It was the worst of times...<BR/><BR/>That whole first paragraph of that novel gives me nightmares..<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, I can recite the soliloquy from Hamlet.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-48683793995424673492008-07-24T23:11:00.000-06:002008-07-24T23:11:00.000-06:00The first line from the The Book Thief was amazing...The first line from the The Book Thief was amazing, and it just gets better, right to the last line which blew me away!Joanne ♦ The Book Zombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369534827454703222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-8024330108210527562008-07-24T19:06:00.000-06:002008-07-24T19:06:00.000-06:00I like the book Thief one.I like the book Thief one.Confuzzled Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738492612572914119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-69588350178639034912008-07-24T14:04:00.000-06:002008-07-24T14:04:00.000-06:00Your memory is better than mine!Your memory is better than mine!SmilingSallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479373067844173653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-82836332466616260572008-07-24T13:31:00.000-06:002008-07-24T13:31:00.000-06:00Without a doubt, the first line from P&P is an...Without a doubt, the first line from P&P is and probably always will be my favorite first line.
