Someone posts the first line of the book, and then for every X wrong guesses, gives more information about the book. The first person who gets it gets to pick the next line. Try to keep it to very popular books that I log of people have read...

Example: Call me Ishmael.

I'll go first:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

TRUE! nervous very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?

Yes
It's my turn.

When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the moviehouse, I only had two things on my mind. Paul Newman and a ride home.

Wow, I definitely thought JP opened in the medical clinic in Costa Rica with the raptor attack victim...guess that's technically the Prologue

They end up using the compy beach attack to cold open the movie TLW

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.

Why would anyone possibly try to cheat in something for fun? What you said is a given.

"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth."
