1) Select 5-10 (or so) favourite books.
2) Post the first line from them.
3) Don't mention the title or author. That's for everyone else to figure out.
4) After someone correctly identifies the book, update the original entry to reflect that fact.
Most of my favourite books are german, but I think I manage to quote the first lines of some 5 or more english books ...
[Unknown site tag]
1. I was driving a '69 Chevy Nova 370 four-barrel with mag wheels and a dual exhaust.
2. When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbington. - "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien ; my most beloved (and most read) book ever, guessed bybar_bar_ella
3. Afterward, he tried to reduce it to abstract terms, an accident in a world of accidents, the collision of opposing forces - the bumper of his car and the frail scrambling hunched-over form of a dark little man with a wild look in his eye -- but he wasn't very successful.
4. The artist is the creator of beautiful things.
5. My father and mother should have stayed in New York where they met and married and where I was born. - "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt ; the book I had to talk about in my final english-examination, guessed by my lovely Anonymus (*hehe* ...dragged him here and see he got one answer right)
6. I'd always lived a fairly blameless life.
7. Sidda is a girl again in the hot heart of Louisiana, the bayou world of Catholic saints and vodoo queens. - "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" by Rebecca Wells ; I wish I had friends like these, guessed byaliciamasters
8. That's your dream out now.
9. MANAGER. DRAMATIC POET. MERRYMAN.
True friends whom I so oft have found,
Say, for our scheme on German ground,
What prospect have we of success?
10. Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree.
