Book Beginni
ngs 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 did or did not like that sentence. Link up each week at Katy's place.
Here's mine from Perelandra by C. S. Lewis:
As I left the railway station at Worchester and set out on the three mile walk to Ransom's cottage, I reflected that no one on that platform could possibly guess the truth about the man I was going to visit.

Here's mine from Perelandra by C. S. Lewis:
Never had Ransom seen a face so calm, and so unearthly, despite the full humanity in every feature.

Hmmmm, really, really interesting. What is the "truth" about this man? Fascinating 56 and Beginning.
I like the idea of hidden truths and mysterious traits...thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
What a visual!
Thanks for participating!
Why would no one guess who he was going to see? Why is he going there at all? Interesting...
This sounds great! I'm putting this on my TBR list. Thanks!
Great hook! Sounds like a good book.
Not sure if my other comment actually made it, so I am just checking with a quick hi! and a thanks for dropping by my blog.

ooo, who? who is the character going to visit? good teaser.
here's mine (includes a giveaway)
Great teaser, I love CS Lewis but have never read Perelandra. Might have to add this one to my wishlist.
Great beginning - and Worcester is such a picturesque little place (or not so little!). This has me longing for English countryside.

Not one mystery but several I suspect. This sounds like an interesting read, of course anything my C.S. Lewis is good.
