It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

A comparison of the various translations:

#FamousFirstLines "Brave and just was Aelgardius, Lord of the mist-twined Empire of Raevynnsflyte. Glorious was his shimmering palace Glimlending, and enchanting his Queen, Paerfalliea. One flaw only had this mighty king -- his tiny codpiece, no larger than a hen's egg."
#FamousFirstLines "Spattered in blood and sweating profusely, the stewardess staggered into the passenger compartment and shrieked 'Is there a malacologist aboard this plane?!' I spat out my tobacco plug, put my pants back on, and bellowed 'Jawohl!'. My hour had come."
“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”
― George Orwell, 1984

My Sister's Keeper was the first @jodipicoult novel I read, but not the last. Love her writing. These #FirstLines are chilling and grab attention. Get a little further into the story, and it'll break your heart. Brilliant.

In Bradbury's chilling #FirstLines we meet Guy Montag, fireman - one unlike any you've met. Instead of putting out fires, Guy burns books, and the houses that hide them.
Brilliant classic about censorship and an illiterate society infatuated with mass media.

Magical #FamousFirstLines from @MadeleineLEngle
Don't laugh!⛈️The night *was* stormy at the Murray household, and Meg's in a freaked out mood. When she goes downstairs for a cup of hot milk, we meet Charles Wallace, then Mrs. Whatsit, and hear about the mysterious tesseract...
Oh, Emma. 🤣 In the #FirstLines of this classic tale, Austen tells us the glorious Ms. Woodhouse is actually a bit of a brat--and if we only keep reading, we'll discover there's plenty of distress and vexation in store for her.

I got Little Women for Christmas when I was 9. (The classic edition w/color plates. Swoon!)
Alcott jumps into the story with a scene Christmas morning that introduces Jo & her sisters. Makes you love them from the first page.

The first line of #Outlander's prologue is deceptively simple. Gabaldon sets the mood/stage. We know *someone* is about to go missing. Thus begins the journey for Claire and Jamie in a beloved series of novels, with more to come.

The first line of 1984 is brilliant. Orwell set the novel's eerie tone and hinted at its themes/conflicts in 14 words. As a reader, I know immediately I'm in for one hell of a ride.
