Rarely entirely serious. Fond of otters and dogs, scarily obsessive about music and old videogames. Mucks about with contracts for a living and sometimes moans about it on here. Could probably do with a G&T. Boosts absolutely are endorsements; it's why I boosted them. He/him.

There was a poll that stated—Rowling’s opening line in the HP series is one of best in the world. Someone posted about how there are a bunch of other opening statements that are better.

Here’s one of my personal favorites, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez (in English):
“It is inevitable — the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.”

What are some of your favorite opening lines in literature? 😊
