Opening Lines

I was having a rather high-brow (for me) discussion with some friends, and we were trying to decide what our favourite opening lines were from books.

My vote went for "Last night, I dreamt I went to Manderlay, again" from Rebecca, by Daphne Du Maurier. It's very emotive. Does anyone else have any particular favourites, or is this subject too high brow for you, too?


Tomorrow's Just An Excuse Away,
So I Pull My Collar Up And Face The Cold, On My Own.
The Earth Laughs Beneath My Heavy Feet,
At The Blasphemy In My Old Jangly Walk.

How can you remember the first lines of books? Sure, I still remember the plots and stories of great books i've read, but can't remember any opening lines.

Thanks for the memories Eddie!

I don't read much, but nothing can top, "I can't believe I lost my fucking ear! Bang Bang!"
Pure Foley gold!

I wish my sex life was like ECW, first you get a One Night Stand followed by 2 months of nostalgic orgasms and then 6 months of constant sucking.

I have a very good memory. Plus, the Manderlay quote has a lot of history behind it, for me. Other opening lines I enjoy are: 'The Man in Black Fled Across The Desert, and The Gunslinger Followed' from Stephen King's 'The Gunslinger'

and, of course:

"All the Whos Down in Who-Ville Liked Christmas A Lot..."
