Default Re: Book with best opening paragraph

Catch-22 by Heller.

"It was love at first sight.
"The first time Yossarian saw the chaplain he fell madly in love with him.
"Yossarian was in the hospital with a pain in his liver that fell just short of being jaundice. The doctors were puzzled by the fact that it wasn't quite jaundice. If it became jaundice they could treat it. If it didn't become jaundice and went away they could discharge him. But this just being short of jaundice all the time confused them."

Thank you, I was about to add this one, mainly because I love the first sentence (and the rest of the book).

Except that the question was best paragraph...not paragraphs. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
