The real first line of Empire Falls* is "Compared to the Whiting mansion in town, the house Charles Beaumount Whiting built a decade after his return to Maine was modest." chosen by tenacitydrader, spookycat50, and majea. Well played! ( And the rest... )

Hahahahaha! You're right, it's Empire Falls.

Wow--there were so many good ones I literally had to pick a line at random. Lucky me!

After I posted the excerpt, I looked at the first line again and wanted to smack myself. I should have used a bit about CB Whiting, because to me the first line sticks out as "one of these things is not like the other."
