What's your favorite opening line of a book?

I have several but this always came back to me after decades:

@QuantumHemp I enjoyed all of the early Sprawl books and I really liked the most recent one, The Peripheral :blobcoffee:

@Gotterdammerung idoru, neuromancer and mona lisa overdrive. Best author ever. Some of his better paper backs are hard to find. Lol

@QuantumHemp have you looked into the covers drawn by this Brazilian artist Josan Gonzalez
