My first ten lines...

Completely failing my IQ and reading proficiency test, I came up with not 10 opening lines of books I like, but 10 opening lines of books I might write.

Following everyone else (failing to have an original thought). Here are my 10 opening lines to my twelve books (three have the same opening line):

4. Click.
5. "Hello, is anybody out there?"
6. "I am their lord and master," said Joe, "they would not have it another way."
7. Concurency is simple in concept, and many trivial examples exist; however, much of the useful work we expect out of computers does not lend it self to it.
8. Once everyone knew soilent green was made of people sales tripled.
9. "...", less commonly referred to as an ellipsis, has become the literary equivalent of the gratuitous use of the word "like".
10. For a brief moment in June of 1974 I was dead, not the pleasant dying in your sleep death or the bitter sweet surrender of succumbing to an insidious disease, no, the being tied in a burlap sack, beaten with a motorcycle chain, then dumped off the Golden Gate bridge kind of dead.
11. It was a dark and stormy night...

Number eleven is in honor of Charles Schultz, who had snoopy right that same line more then once.
