Your Favorite Opening Line
What book has an opening line that you still remember years later?
Share the line if you can, along with the title, and tell us whether it made you want to keep reading. I’m always curious which first sentences stay with people. 😊

One opening line I’ve always remembered is from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…”
Even after all these years, that line still stays with me. It captures how life can be full of hope and hardship at the same time.
It certainly made me want to keep reading, and as I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to appreciate its meaning even more.
