Now, I had to actually google to see what it was because I don't actually own the book. But this was probably the only book that literally had me enthralled from the first page through the last one: Interview With the Vampire. <br /><br />“I see…” said the vampire thoughtfully, and slowly he walked across the room towards the window.<br /><br />Nice job Ann Rice... no BS, straight to the point. The vampire is acknowledged in the first sentence. Seeing that again makes me want to read it again!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785387670667198873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442355297625438730.post-21717961584712945622010-10-13T14:24:42.576-04:002010-10-13T14:24:42.576-04:00I love the lines from WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON a...I love the lines from WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON and BEFORE I FALL, too!Rebecca Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12138361115317776477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442355297625438730.post-16551061923140929452010-10-13T14:03:40.270-04:002010-10-13T14:03:40.270-04:00Ooh I like the "I'm in hell" one.

I love it. And Quita, that first sentence definitely makes people want to keep reading, I would know ;) I really like the first line of that book Cracked Up, and I've been meaning to read it too.<br /><br />Pam, to answer your question, I will be attending a conference, and yes we will have to exchange notes. I'm having trouble deciding which workshops I want to attend. They all sound so good!<br /><br />Quita, I mailed the book yesterday. You should get it soon! :)Racquel Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12878474658503690859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442355297625438730.post-51915046192949255302010-10-13T11:08:53.804-04:002010-10-13T11:08:53.804-04:00I just started BEFORE I FALL and love that first s...I just started BEFORE I FALL and love that first sentence...also quoted WINTERGIRLS in my own post :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13612218172442721987noreply@blogger.com
