'n Lysie van eerste sinne...

Nog ‘n tagging game! Krap op jou boekrak rond en soek interessante begin sinne van boeke… ek hou hiervan!!

Hier is my resultate (alhoewel my bronne baie beperk is aangesien 99% van die boeke wat ek besit in SA is, en ek aan die ander kant van die aardbol sit…)

1. “The Morris dance is common to all inhabited worlds in the multiverse.”
Reaper Man – Terry Pratchett

2. “The story of how I paid for college begins like life itself – in a pool of water.”
How I Paid For College – Marc Acito

3. “It was the evening on which MM. Debienne and Poligny, the managers of the Opera, were giving a last gala performance to mark their retirement.”
The Phantom of the Opera – Gaston Leroux

4. Adult editors of children’s books
If you must follow the adventures of a public school conjuror, even though you are a) notionally a grown adult, and b) have probably been to university or at least to ‘big school’, why attempt to conceal the fact behind a different cover, as if fellow passengers will assume after a casual glance that you’re actually reading Thomas Mann in the original German?
Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Shit? The Encyclopedia of Modern Life – Steve Lowe & Alan McArthur

5. “Vyftien jaar lank het ek, Silas Miggel, in vrede op die platrand by Gouna gewoon.”
Moerbeibos – Dalene Matthee

6. Estragon (giving up again) Nothing to be done.
Waiting for Godot – Samuel Beckett
