Writing Words - writing it is the only way of getting it written

100 first lines of novels

December 11th 2009 22:26
This list claims to contain the 100 best opening lines of novels (or sentences in some cases), as chosen by the editors of American Book Review.

I don't agree with all of them and think there are some others missing, but that's not the point. The list is a collection of first lines of published novels, and as such it is rather useful to writers who want to see their own opening lines in print.
