Yeah, what's this book(which shall remain nameless for now) have to do with stealing dead people's hair?

No, no, no. Just the idea of seeing events from different perspectives. You know:
"...each time it was a different story.” --------------- My basic objection to religion is not that it isn't true; I like plenty of things that aren't true. It's that religion grants its adherents malign, intoxicating and morally corrosive sensations. -Philip Pullman |

Thanks for the welcome Ishter and welcome back. I know someone here knows this book, it's a classic and it's the opening line. ----- Respect the BANDS wishes and wait till release day. -- Bradford Cox of Deerhunter |

Aw, come on guys. I thought you would get this one so easy—I mean, I thought everyone was going to be able to easily guess it. Well, when PRG shows, he can name it

I googled it. I read this book around 30 years ago. It's a great book, but there was no way I was going to remember the opening line! --------------- My basic objection to religion is not that it isn't true; I like plenty of things that aren't true.

Yeah, it's Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. This one is pretty famous, so hopefully someone gets it. Of course, you may have heard it and have no idea what it's from!

Wow, I actually know PRG’s newest quote, that’s also an opening line and it is too significant nowadays to pass up. Anyways, I’ll let someone else take a shot at it.

You can take it if you want FKA, I don't know it.

I believe it is The Go-Between by L.P. Hartley, is that right PRG?

OK, here is mine:
"She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad. But as we were fixing lunch, and for no apparent reason, she laughed in such a way that I kissed her." ----- Respect the BANDS wishes and wait till release day. -- Bradford Cox of Deerhunter |

I suppose it has been four pages since this book was last used on this thread.
