Ganked From LilRinnie...

1. List the first line(s) of 10 books you really like.
2. And then your friends all can guess the book.
3. Post your opinion of the book when someone guessed it.

1. Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story of that man skilled in all ways of contending, the wanderer, harried for years on end, after he plundered the stronghold on the proud height of Troy.

2. A squat grey building of only thirty-four stories.

3. The old woman remembered a swan she had bought many years ago in Shanghai for a foolish sum.

4. Late autumn winds sighed fitfully around the open gatehouse door, rustling brown gold leaves in the fading afternoon.

5. The door swung silently behind them, cutting off the light, music, and wild celebration of the ballroom.

6. Turjan sat in his workroom, legs sprawled out from the stool, back against and elbows on the bench.

7. Guido Maffeo was castrated when he was six years old and sent to study with the finest singing masters in Naples.
Cry to Heaven by Anne Rice; Guessed by LilRinnie.  This was not my first Anne Rice but it was the first one outside of her Vampire Chronicles that I read.  I think it's sad and beautiful all at the same time with a nice healthy dose of intrigue.  It's on my yearly reread list.

8. Yes, you love your mother.

9. The sun sets in the west (just about everyone knows that), but Sunset Towers faced east!

10. He should have never taken that shortcut.
