I just started a new book called Sudden Death by David Rosenfelt. It's in a series about a lawyer named Andy Carpenter. Anyway, the opening paragraph just cracked me up, and I thought I'd post it here and see if anyone else wanted to post funny or attention grabbing opening lines from books they are reading or have read.
I step off the plane, and for the first time in my life, I’m in Los Angeles. I’m not sure why I’ve never been here before. I certainly haven’t had any preconceived notions about the place, other than the fact that the people here are insincere, draft-dodging, drug-taking, money-grubbing, breast-implanting, out-of-touch, pâté-eating, pompous, Lakers-loving, let’s-do-lunching, elitist scum bags. But here I am, open minded as always.
