A good opening line is such a treat. A line that grabs you by the shirt and says, “You‘re going to like this.” It‘s like a handful of red licorice nibs or red hots. #greatopeninglines #openingline

I do NOT need to start another book. But. Map! Words!

"To the as-yet-unborn, to all innocent wisps of undifferentiated nothingness: Watch out for life" Kurt Vonnegut always has killer opening lines! #greatopeninglines #booktober
Lovecraft has a lot of #GreatOpeningLines for #booktober.
Dagon: "I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more."
The Cats of Ulthar: "It is said that in Ulthar, which lies beyond the river Skai, no man may kill a cat;"
The Nameless City: "When I drew nigh the nameless city I knew it was accursed."
The Outsider: "Unhappy is he to whom the memories of childhood bring only fear and sadness."
"Solving the following riddle will reveal the awful secret behind the universe, assuming you do not go utterly mad in the attempt. If you already happen to know the awful secret behind the universe, feel free to skip ahead." #greatopeninglines #booktober
#Booktober #GreatOpeningLines This looks like a children's book, but it really isn't. It's illustrated craziness for grown ups who have retained the wild imagination of their childhood. @RealLifeReading
Hands down, the best opening lines to any novel I've ever read!
