Here is a quick quiz on first lines in books. These are all books that I have enjoyed so hopefully the first lines will inspire you to read the rest of the book!! 1/2 point for the title and 1/2 for the author. Good luck! I will post the answers in a few days. 1. It was love at first sight. 2. Jack Torrance thought: Officious little p&$£k 3. When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. 4. I will not drink more than 14 alcohol units a week. 5. It was seven o'clock of a very warm evening in the Seeonee hills when Father Wolf woke up from his day's rest, scratched himself, yawned, and spread out his paws one after the other to get rid of the sleepy feeling in their tips. 6. Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice. 7. On an exceptionally hot evening early in July a young man came out of the garret in which he lodged in S. Place and walked slowly, as though in hesitation, towards K. Bridge. 8. I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support. 9. Idle reader, you can believe without any oath of mine that I would wish this book, as the child of my brain, to be the most beautiful, the liveliest and the cleverest imaginable. 10. In the late summer of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains.
