What's the first sentence of your favorite novel?

Here's mine:

“Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.”

What's yours?

That was one of the best books I've read.

I'll add:

"A green hunting cap squeezed the top of a fleshy balloon of a head."

and

"You never hear about a sportsman losing his sense of smell in a tragic accident, and for good reason; in order for the universe to teach excruciating lessons that we are unable to apply in later life, the sportsman must lose his legs, the philosopher his mind, the painter his eyes, the musician his ears, the chef his tongue."

Great book.

It's hard for me to pick one book, but here is a good one.

"It's incredible, it really is, isn't it? Ever think you'd be humping along some crazy-ass trail like this, jumping up and down like a goddamn bullfrog, dodging bullets all day?" Back in Cleveland, man, I'd still be asleep."

That opening is good, but this line from later in the book is my favorite.

"It is more difficult, however, to think of yourself in those ways. As the eternal Hector, dying gallantly. It is impossible. That's the problem. Knowing yourself, you can't make it real for yourself. It's sad when you learn you're not much of a hero."

One of my first books and still one of the most favorite, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, ?and what is the use of a book,? thought Alice, ?without pictures or conversations??
