General Idea: Post first line from 10 of your favorite novels. Make people guess what they are.
01) Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree. But people have always been dimly aware of the problem with the start of things.
02) One way to look at what happened is that everything is the fault of my optometrist and his enthusiasm for those miserable eye-drops that make your eyes super sensitive to light. But if I've learned one thing from all this, it's that there's generally more than one way to look at anything.
03) [name] had done three years in prison. He was big enough and looked don't-fuck-with-me enough that his biggest problem was killing time. American Gods by Neil Gaiman (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
yubsie)
04) Now consider the tortoise and the eagle. Small Gods by Terry Pratchett (ameryanne)
05) In the land of [place], where such things as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, it is quite a misfortune to be born the eldest of three.
06) Summer in France was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a fifteen-year-old girl, a social and cultural experience she'd never forget. At least that's what everyone told [name].
07) In my time I have been called many things: sister, lover, priestess, wise-woman, queen. Now in truth I have come to be wise-woman, and a time may come when these things may need to be known. The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley (yubsie)
08) "And I say you will!" bellowed the burly sheepfarmer, [name]. He lunged across the table but his daughter [name] sidestepped his powerful arm and darted down the passage to the sleeping rooms.
09) As the bus entered the prefectural capital of [place], garden suburbs transformed into city streets of multicolored neon, headlights of oncoming cars and checkered lights of office buildings.
10) Twenty-three stories up and all I could see out the windows was grey smog. They could call it the City of Angels if they wanted to, but if there were angels out there, they had to be flying blind.
I tried to keep a variety of my favorite books because I've got a hell of a lot more than just ten. I might have vetoed some in favor of others sinceneekabe used them in hers! =P
ALSO - Trans Siberian Orchestra has a new album out called Night Castle. It's fucking amazing and wonderful and it's not a 'Christmas' album so it can be listened all year round like Beethoven's Last Night. It's brilliant and I love it so much. So if you get a chance go listen to it, I guaranty you'll be impressed.
