I love a book that begins with a great opening sentence, something that just burns into your memory.

From Iain Banks' 'The Crow Road'. Always makes me giggle that one for some reason...
Any other goodies? I'm hoping people's contributions might turn me on to some good books

"It was the day my grandmother exploded."
