Twittering the first lines of books so you don't have to!

TwitterLit's thematic entries
First lines are chosen for TwitterLit because they are interesting in some way. They're gripping or well-written or funny, or they come from a surprising source. And some are selected and posted on TwitterLit to celebrate special occasions--holidays, birthdays, newsworthy events (read more about this). You can browse TwitterLit's thematic entries using the pulldown menu below.
