Book Beginnings on Friday is a bookish meme sponsored by Katy at A Few More Pages. Here's what you do: share the first line (or two) of the book you are currently reading on your blog or in the comments section . Include the title and author so we know what you're reading. Then, if you are so moved, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line, and if you liked or did not like that sentence. Link-up each week at Katy's place.
Here's mine from Jerusalem Inn by Martha Grimes:
A meeting in a graveyard. That was how it would always come back to him, and without any sense of irony at all--that meeting in a graveyard did not foreshadow the permanence he was after.
Wow -- that's a staggering open -- so striking! Also, congrats to your son! :)
