Hi everyone,
My first 2 pages were from Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. Check it out:
http://www.amazon.com/Middlesex-Novel-Jeffrey-Eugenides/dp/0312422156/sr=8-1/qid=1170725224/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-1205418-7742461?ie=UTF8&s=books
The very first line is:
"I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day in January of 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of 1974."
I love this opening because it's so startling yet, he finds a way of making it sound mundane at the same time. I dig it.
