MY BOOK BEGINNING
"Is this seat taken?" I asked the attractive young woman sitting by herself in the lounge.
-- The General's Daughter by Nelson DeMille. It's a clever beginning, really, because he is approaching an ex-girlfriend who he hasn't seen in a year and he knows won't be happy to run into him.
I like it! It's a good beginnging.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for hosting! ;D
What a great opener - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding an explanation. That makes all the difference! I'm wondering how the ex-girlfriend answered.
ReplyDeleteI read the beginning and I thought that's cool, and then your explanation of it changed that!
ReplyDeleteWasn't there a movie? It seems like I began to watch and it was too dark.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great way to spend Fridays on the internet. Thanks.
Interesting beginning especially with the explanation!
