Zorac's LiveJournal

Borrowing a meme from other journals, here's my shot at the "first lines of your favourite books" games. I've picked two dozen titles from my shelves, not entirely at random, and supplied you with the first line (sometimes more). Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify as many of the books as possible.

To help you: They're all works of fiction, and if part of a series, I've chosen the first (by some reasonable definition) book in the series. They're all by different authors and are in alphabetical order by author (hey, the came off the shelves like that!) Prologues etc may or may not have been skipped, depending on which line I think is easier to identify.

Good luck, people. Answers when I get back from MacT00bage.

Unlike everyone else, I managed to get to St. Andrews with very little by the way of travel difficulties. The train was on time plus or minus a few minutes for the whole journey, and I had a power socket by my seat, so was able to read fanfic for pretty much the whole journey. Unfortunately didn't have a table seat so conditions were somewhat cramped, but never mind.

Have met various new t00bs and done much gratuitous use of the net already. We watched "Once More, With Feeling!" (I will post a review soon, honest) and barely resisted singing along (no such restraint on the later run through of the soundtrack). More people should be arriving shortly, so it looks to be another fun weekend.
