what's your favorite beginning line of a book?

So while tatterpunk was over for Xmas Eve yesterday myself, her and her father got into an interesting conversation brought on by the question "What's your favorite first line from a book?"

Me, I said "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."

So I thought I'd make a meme game out of it. What's yours? (books=novels, comics, plays...) Post, and we'll all guess what book it's from. Who knows mine? Sans Google, bitches.

In addition, list favorite first lines of movies or songs if you're so inclined.

Someone else can write this out in viral meme format, I'm too lazy right now. And my tea is ready.

PS--My booty for this year was BSG Season 2 (2.0+2.5) and Razor. So, anyone who needs to catch up on BSG is welcome to borrow. Though I still need to watch Razor. Maybe tomorrow.
