Re: Bookworms:What are the best first lines you've read?
"Marx has copletely changed the way I view the world," declared the Pallières boy this morning, although ordinarily he says nary a word to me.
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery (written originally in French)
There is a film version of this book which is also really good.
The last words of this book are actually better:
"Don't worry Renée, I won't commit suicide and i won't burn a thing.
Because from now on, for you, I'll be searching for those moments of always within never.
Beauty, in this world."
