The Best Lead Line Ever
Friday, November 7, 2008 at 9:30AMDo you have a favorite lead line? You know, the opening line that simply forces you to keep reading? Mine is from "The God Who is There"
"The present chasm between the generations has been brought about almost entirely by a change in the concept of truth."

1. Your blog name is great--a mouthful--but it made me smile.
2. I saw your blog on 22 words, so I read it, not a creeper.
3. Favorite lead line: "In the beginning was the word"...

mmmm...Cyanide...tasty
what book does that come from Ben?
ha good call. i didn't even realize it was about cyanide when i first read that.
it's from Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera," the most romantic novel ever written (in my semi-informed opinion).
