An important part of a book to me is the first sentence. If done right, it can lock me into the story and make me care about it. It's the beauty of language that flows in way that etches that sentence in your mind, and makes you feel like you have been transported to another world.

Anyone up for sharing their favorite opening lines of a book?

I'll leave two.
1. "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." Dark Tower

2. "The sky above the port was the color of televison tuned to a dead channel." Neuromancer
