Här kan ni kolla från vilka böcker som har de hundra bästa ”opening lines”( kan jag säga inledningsmeningarna) . Mina favoriter är Pride and prejudice ” It is a truth universally acknowledged that a singel man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife”, Little Women ” Christmas won´t be Christmas without any presents”, grumbled Jo, lying on the rug eller Gone With the Wind ” Scarlett O´Hara was not beautiful, but men seldome realized it when caught by her charm as the Tartleton twins were”

Kul, ska genast kolla. I alla faller inledande meningarna.
The summer my father bought the bear, none of us was born – we weren’t even conceived: not Frank, the oldest; not Franny, the loudest; not me, the next; and not the youngest of us, Lilly and Egg. My father and mother were hometown kids who knew each other all their lives, but their ”union,” as Frank always called it, hadn’t taken place when Father bought the bear. ”Their ’union’, Frank?” Franny used to tease him; although Frank was the oldest, he seemed younger than Franny, to me, and Franny always treated him as if he were a baby ”What you mean, Frank,” Franny said, ”is that they hadn’t started screwing”.
