@ramblingreaders @danialbehzadi @bookstodon I love this license! I like how it prevents traditional companies, law enforcement and military from using it. To me, it makes perfect sense to have this restriction for a book review service. Book reviews should not be stored for profit, nor corrupted to be used in an oppressive manner. I’m sure there are some nice, perfectly nerdy sections of armed departments in many countries. But this way is safe

There was a poll that stated—Rowling’s opening line in the HP series is one of best in the world. Someone posted about how there are a bunch of other opening statements that are better.

Here’s one of my personal favorites, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez (English translated):
“It is inevitable. The scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.”

What are some of your favorite opening lines in literature? 😊
