1. Pick 10 of your favorite books or series.
2. Post the first sentence of each book. (If one sentence seems too short, post two or three!)
3. Let everyone try to guess the titles and authors of your books.


LET'S DO THIS THING:

1.  I have just returned from a visit to my landlord -- the solitary neighbour that I shall be troubled with.  Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte) -- [livejournal.com profile] everstar3

2.  It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.  (note: I COULDN'T NOT INCLUDE THIS ONE.)  Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen) -- [livejournal.com profile] darkfrog24

3.  It was a nice day. Good Omens (Pratchett & Gaiman) -- [profile] jazzy_fay

4.  I have to.  I've been fighting it all night.  I'm going to lose. 

5.  3 May, Bistritz -- Left Munich at 8.35 p.m. on 1st May, arriving at Vienna ealy next morning; should have arrived at 6.46, but train was an hour late. Dracula (Bram Stoker) -- [livejournal.com profile] mscongeniality

6.  It begins, as most things begin, with a song.  Anansi Boys (Neil Gaiman) -- [livejournal.com profile] rhymed

7.  It was a dumb thing to do but it wasn't that dumb.  Sunshine (Robin McKinley) -- [livejournal.com profile] sarolynne

8.  Matilda Goodnight stepped back from her latest mural and reaized that of all the crimes she'd committed in her thirty-four year years, painting the floor-to-ceiling reproduction of van Gogh's sunflowers on Clarissa Donnelly's dining room wall was the one that was going to send her to hell.  Faking It (Jennifer Crusie) -- [livejournal.com profile] janetl

9.  Harriet Vane sat at her writing table and stared out into Mecklenburg Square.  Gaudy Night (Dorothy L. Sayers) -- [livejournal.com profile] mscongeniality

10.  At first, all I saw was a white blur out of the corner of my eye. It was a long way away, maybe five hundred yards, and initially I wasn't sure what it was.


Some of these I know are insanely easy.  OH WELL.
