Ah.... Jane Austen at number two. Even cowboys love Jane Austen!
Holy crap! #19 on the second link has got to be a record for the LONGEST SENTENCE EVER.
All hail the semi-colon!
Not to complain, Miss S, but both links went to the same page, for me at least.
But what a great page!
word verification: dvpez--The candy that makes you sound like James Earl Jones.
Link is wonky -- try this instead:

If you thought #19 was long, you should see what #95 looks like.
Really don't think that first line from Catch-22 is all that impressive without the second line.
It's got my favourite: Eustace Clarence Scrubb!

Technology challenged pencil scribbler thanks Miss Snark and Puzzlehouse. Been searching for great opening lines/hooks for a while without success.
Damn, I haven't gotten to that Stephanie Plum one yet!
Can hardly wait!
