Poll
Spring is here and with it come new beginnings. Speaking of beginnings, April's poll wants to know... what is the best opening line of a book?
"Once upon a time..."
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."
"Call me Ishmael."
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."
"Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board."
"In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. ‘Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,’ he told me, ‘just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.’"
"There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it."
“It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn’t know what I was doing in New York.”
