Charles Dickens has some great ones. A Christmasy one that comes to mind:

"Marley was dead: to begin with." - A Christmas Carol

Other ones I like:

"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen." - 1984, George Orwell

"Mars was empty before we came. That's not to say that nothing had ever happened." - Red Mars, Kim Stanley Robinson

"In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, he told me, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." - The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald

RMB Question Time

What's your favourite opening line/paragraph of a book?

Ohhh... that is a hard one.

Mine is this
The strong chest, used to war, does not suffer,
No longer having a friend to whom you do harm;
And so I have no one to beat on earth,
Will make the ocean waves
Luis Vaz de Camões, in "d'Os Lusiadas", Canto IV, Estância 48
