Ten books
I picked this one up from Iconoclam. Post the first sentences of ten books I like, and see if people can guess the books.
1. She was lost.
2. I always get the shakes before a drop.
3. I just happen to be in Scotland when I hear about the massacre.
4. The last drops of the thundershower had hardly ceased falling when the Pedestrian stuffed his map into his pocket, settled his pack more comfortably on his tired shoulders, and stepped out from the shelter of a large chestnut-tree into the middle of the road.
5. "Tonight we're going to show you eight silent ways to kill a man."
6. If all the claims were true, this world would be an extraordinarily strange place, far different from what orthodox science would suppose.
7. Roscommon came and laid waste to the garden an hour after dawn, about the time I usually get out of bed and he usually passes out on the shoulder of some freeway.
8. hula hoop (march 1958-june 1959) -- The prototype for all merchandising fads and one whose phenomenal success has never been repeated.
9. At liftoff, Matt Eversmann said a Hail Mary.
10. In the Spring of 1903, on the advice of my physician, I had occasion to visit that remote and beautiful fragment of land in the middle of the Indian Ocean which I shall call Rowe Island.
As a probably unnecessary and possibly misleading hint, there's some nonfiction in there, as I read rather a bit of it.
