    My favorite opening lines that I didn’t see yet are:

    Kafka’s “Metamorphosis”

    “When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams, he found himself changed into a monstrous cockroach in his bed”

    Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina”

    “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”

    And, Gibson’s “Neuromancer”

    “The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.”
