Wow. My brain SERIOUSLY does not work this way. I've read a ton of these books but only recognized two of the 66 first lines posted. Those two are both from books I've read at least 10 and probably more than 15 times each.

Evidently first lines aren't my thing... how did I not know this?

That was lots and lots and lots and LOTS of fun!!

And there were heaps of sneaky tricks I was expecting you to pull that you didn't, too. I'm not gonna post them here because then they wouldn't be Sneaky Tricks.

Did anybody notice how clobbered the server got? It was AWFULLY slow for me, but I wasn't sure if it was just the Oz internet connection being flaky as usual?

*deep breath* That so SO COOL!

Malthus, you are *scary* fast!

On an airplane somewhere over Kansas, it occurred to Daphne that she had never seen anyone eat oranges as Esther Falkner did.

I either love you for this or I hate you. I can't decide... possibly both. Are you *sure* Chaz won't help me???

Are all the Aussies here at once because of the timezones, or what? Me too.

And prefer my caffeine substrate cold, carbonated, and sugar-free so I'll go for the diet coke. But hey, I'm at least polite enough to restock the fridge with both kinds afterwards so there's enough cold for everybody who wants it.

You probably won't see me around much, I haven't mastered hands-free typing like some we could mention and my hands (and various other bits of me) don't work so well. Strangely enough, I really *do* have a very rare metabolic disorder that's not in the textbooks... has anybody unearthed a recruitment poster anywhere? Maybe they need international contacts...
