OK, this is too much fun to pass up on. Snagged from badfalcon koryou and elebridith

Choose 10 books that you like. List the first sentence or so of each of those books. Let other people try to figure out what book that first line is from.

Aww, google is no fun :) But all are very good books so if I can get one more person reading them all is well :)

6. The Lies of Locke Lamora - Scott Lynch
7. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke

The other ones I googled (I´ve read no. 1 and 3, but I didn´t remember the first sentences, and I wasn´t sure which of the books no. 8 came from), and found the answer to everything but no. 4.

[cyphersushi]

No 4 is from a book I know you have read. You introduced me to the writer and we both adore him :)

Then I´m guessing something by China Miéville?

[elebridith]

*hides* Got nothing... look forward to the answers!

[cyphersushi]

You should read the Locke books, they are really nice. *nods* And you are correct on the Eddings one :)

It seems like I´m not allowed to reply on your reply... or maybe I am and you´ll get like 6000 replies in a minute. ;)

But, ah, no. 4: China Miéville. Perdido Street Station, I believe.

[cyphersushi]

Correct! The oddness of the words is a bit of a givaway :)

Yeah, but I haven´t read it in like... two years. =)
