My favorite book of all time starts off like this:
"Katherine Muller had been dead for five years and two months the morning Isabelle received the letter from her."
Is there anything better than the first time we read the first sentence of what we feel will probably turn out to be (for each of us, the reader) the best book we ever read? No matter how much we reread and still love an amazing novel, nothing quite measures up to cracking open the beginning pages and not knowing what is ahead of us.
