1. Choose five of your all-time favorite books.
2. Take the first sentence of the first chapter and make a list in your journal.
3. Don't reveal the author or the title of the book.
4. Now everyone try to guess.
Um, and five was too easy. So to make up for the TV show thing, I picked ten books.
1. In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. The Great Gatsby, guessed byrobohunk
2. "Your grandfather," said Vanyel's brawny, fifteen-year-old cousin Radevel, "was crazy." Magic's Pawn, guessed byowlishness
3. "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." Ender's Game, guessed bymediathrall
4. The year that Buttercup was born, the most beautiful woman in the world was a French scullery maid named Annette. The Princess Bride, guessed byrobohunk
5. "Sh'Gall is out on other Weyr business," Moreta told Nesso for the third time, beginning to loosen her sweat- and oil-stained tunic as a hint. Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern, guessed bykaminoshi
6. Cannon School occupied an entire block of New Orleans, its sprawl of manicured lawns and neocolonial brick buildings dividing the neighborhood in half. A Density of Souls, guessed bylumivel
7. Three children lay on the rocks at the water's edge. Daughter of the Forest, guessed bymediathrall
8. "Gramma, is that man following us?"
9. The house stood on a slight rise just on the edge of the village. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, guessed by Ann, whom I think cheated, andowlishness, whom I know cheated
10. Lest anyone should suppose that I am a cuckoo's child, got on the wrong side of the blanket by lusty peasant stock and sold into indenture in a shortfallen season, I may say that I am House-born and reared in the Night Court proper, for all the good it did me. Kushiel's Dart, guessed byowlishness, and also by Ann, who is too forgetful to have a livejournal
Some of these are pretty blatantly obvious... Others not so much. At any rate, I will leave this up for a few days before I start panicking, Alicia... so guess at your leisure. I'll edit the post with the answers as you guys get them.
