20 books that have the best opening lines which made them all the more interesting to read
Some of the best lines of a book are written at the very start. That's when you know if a book has managed to reel you in, or left you with too little fodder to go on by. And if you were ever to judge a book at all, let it not be by its cover; but, by its opening lines. Here are 20 books which happen to have some of the best opening lines you'd ever read. 1.
