If you spend your time in the Library forum, you probably spend a lot of time reading and/or writing.
What's your favourite opening line? It could be from a book or it can be one you've used yourself. Please also add the name of the book it's from and the author ^^ -
It was the end of the world.
- Opening line of Chapter 2 of A Queda (working title), written by ✨me✨
I had not been stomped so badly since my guitar contest against Chuck Berry in 1957.
- Opening line of Chapter 2 of The Trials Of Apollo, The Hidden Oracle, written by Rick Riordan -
I mean, "I didn't want to be a Half-Blood" Is f---ing iconic. (1st Percy Jackson book, Rick Riordan)
One I made: "Most hero stories don't start with the hero in jail. Most hero stories also don't have me in them." (My book, Jailbreak) -

Either
"In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit."

A big favourite of mine:
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.
- The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy -
Also it's sequel:
The story so far: In the beginning, the Universe was created.
- The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe -
literally any story that starts with: "hi, i'm *insert name*. you're probably wondering how i got into this mess."
