What is the first sentence of the book you are reading?

Actually it is a good book for 'first sentences'
Chapter 2: My own stupid fault!
Chapter 3: Someone came in and gave me another hypodermic shot.
Chapter 4: Some day I am going to win an argument with Boss.
Chapter 5: Nine weeks later I left for New Zeeland.
Enjoy

@Jakob, I was quite intrigued by your sentence, so I looked it up---sci-fi. The author has a very interesting bio. That led me to read about a bunch of science fiction writers. They are all interesting people. Some have very tragic lives. This post was edited by Marguerite, the Beloved at August 11, 2017 3:36 PM MDT

I'm sorry, what did you say?

Take time. It's worth it

I love books, I am a reader, but right now, I am still in study mode and work mode and I am not getting near a book right now.  I just feel guilty like I need to be reading job material.  So, I give up for right now.

I do like that book you introduced on here as something that looks really interesting.  I would like that one.

Actually it is terrible. It is about 100 years into a future where The US and many other countries have splintered into independent city-states that are mostly controlled by multinational companies. The people are utter individualists, with automatic defenses set to shoot and kill anyone who enter their garden and get too close to the house. I was reminded of it when Rosie mentioned hiring BlackWater as mercenaries for future wars, it is their kind of triggerhappy utopia.

The book is "Friday" by Robert A Heinlein This post was edited by JakobA the unAmerican. at August 10, 2017 5:43 PM MDT

It sounds like an interesting book to me! But it was terrible, huh? You make it sound great, JakobA!

I thought he liked it too, Welb, what a nut.  LOL

Thanks for warning me, Jakob.

That guy by the Giant Circus Peanut is HOT!
:)

OOh Heinlein is usually pretty fluffy.. love and all sharing in the joy of sharing each other so to speak.. I've read Friday but it was a long time ago. 

@Shar, Are those the first sentences of a book? Everybody reads. 

Hey, I think I have read that book too :)

I've read most of them.  I found them totally enjoyable throughout my life.  I love the illustrations.

We could get together and spend time together reading these books - - I've liked them my whole life, too.

Wonderful answer, LyricalOne!

Too long and too much run-on. I cannot recommend that book

It's a non-fiction book about the March 12, 1928 collapse of the Saint Francis Dam in California, USA. Known as the "Deadliest Human-made Disaster of 20th-Century America." And I had never heard of it at all, ever. Thus, I'm reading it.

At even that, you're still right -- it is a rather long, run-on sentence. Ha!
:)

I've been in circumstances like that, too -- where someone who knows me gives me/wants me to read a book. I've often thought the same things you've mentioned here.
:)
So far, I must be an easy person to decipher?  Because most of the people have nailed good choices for me.
