The unfortunate timing of him writing an entire book-length hagiography that went to print just as his subject was being exposed as a fraud meant he either had to admit having been completely fooled or double down. Alas, he has chosen, and not wisely.

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? 😊

"When your mama was the geek, my dreamlets," Papa would say, "she made the nipping off of noggins such a crystal mystery that the hens themselves yearned toward her, waltzing around her, hypnotized with longing."

Being an admin of a large-ish instance has been quite an eye opening experience into how awful some people are towards trans people. I really don’t understand the energy they put into hating people.
