First Liners
I’ve mentioned before how I judge books by their cover. When I’m browsing the bookstore and see a cover that just begs for my attention, the next thing I do is usually to go to the first page and read the first line. I love books that can get me hooked right from the start. For instance, the most famous first line “it was the best of times, it was the best of times” I’m sure you’ve heard of that one.
Some of the most favorite first lines of your favorite books have been compiled in a list, but before you take a peek there, maybe you’d like to test your knowledge first by taking this quiz.
