Sadly, I don't remember the opening lines to any true literature.
Ideally, with my First Lines challenge, it's first lines that have really struck me during the year no matter the source. However, I do try to mostly have stuff on there people might have read (either because it's new literary fiction & generally popular, or a classic). Of course the trick is remembering based on the line, so I try to choose (again, ideally) ones with details that might jog one's memory. Of course, all this was easier when I read closer to 50 books rather than 30. This year was slim pickings, but it also seems like there was more recent stuff that had been read than usual.
Update: Holy fuck Leviathan Falls is already so good.

Ok, I don’t know at what point you said that, but hard concur
I was unable to get into Outlander. Oh well. I don't think it'll affect the author's career unduly.
Fans of Addison's Goblin Emperor, there's another book in that world coming out next spring! [link]
sigh ... I'd like to hear more about Maia's life
Though I enjoyed Witness for the Dead, I was thinking the same thing, Todd.
Though I will admit to being pleased when I realized from the Goodreads listing that she intended Witness to start a series.
Sweet! I would like more Maia but I do enjoy Celehar a lot
Yay another book, but yeah. Guess I’ll have to hope someone goes overboard on their Yuletide story this year, or something, for Maia!
Oh, that’s a good thought
