American Book Review listar de hundra bästa meningarna som någonsin inlett en roman. Det är underhållande läsning, tycker åtminstone min, möjligen, något skruvade hjärna. Jag har tre favoriter:1. If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.J. D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye (1951)
2. It was the day my grandmother exploded.Iain M. Banks, The Crow Road (1992)
3. Elmer Gantry was drunk.Sinclair Lewis, Elmer Gantry (1927)
Vilka är era?
I mina yngre och känsligare år gav min far mig ett råd som jag sen dess alltid hållit i minnet.
SvaraRadera-the great gatsby, underbar bok.
