It'll be interesting to see the responses.



I agree. I like a clever opening line.
I bet we've all heard how important the opening line of a book is in hooking the reader. What's the opening line of the book you're reading at the moment?

Mine is:

"One day in 1972, I came home from work and found my wife sitting at the kitchen table with a pair of gardening shears in front of her".

Taken from "Just After Sunset" by Stephen King.
Just under a month to go in our "New Beginnings" competition. We have some excellent submissions already, but there's still time to get your entry in!
