- Latest Review: Raven's Peak by Lincoln Cole
He couldn’t remember when he fell in love with the pain. When agony first turned to pleasure, and then to joy. Of course, it hadn’t always been like this. He remembered screaming all those years ago when first they put him in this cell; those memories were vague, though, like reflections in a dusty mirror.

- Latest Review: Heartaches 2 by H.M. Irwing
Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny, book one of The Great Book of Amber. This one is technically the first sentence of the physical book as my copy contains the whole series in one book.It was starting to end, after what seemed most of eternity to me.
However, I've just started book two, so here's that opening line as a bonus!
The Guns of Avalon by Roger Zelazny, book two of The Great Book of Amber.I stood there on the beach and said, "Good-by, Butterfly," and the ship slowly turned, then headed out toward deep water.
