the title of the book so I'm like okay cool I can't use that or the first line is like the main character in the book well you can say the blank walked across the room I guess I could have but you know still was okay cool you got you scored so with mine I ordered them intentionally so that the first one is the easiest and it's going to progressively get harder okay and I have done that's how I did mine for five out of the six books they are books that I know you've read and then one I'm actually not sure sweet oh that's good that's very considerate of you because I'm at a disadvantage cuz I

in Stormlight a thunder class I think it is so that's um so this is going to be this is the first line of a book well shoot it can't be Words of Radiance it's got to be the third one oathbringer oathbringer wait words of the way of Kings Way of Kings this is the first prologue oh I didn't realize you were going to do prologs well ashell from the sky is a prologue is it I didn't know that I was doing from chapter one well you can do what you want did mapping the interior a thunder class wouldn't have been in the chapter one of of of that it would be the first prolog but it could have been the prologue yes that's true I get a half point for that one I have declared incorrect all right your turn if you're going to do prologue I'll just do the you do the last one see the uh the copyright page see if you can get it from that the tower which was not supposed to be there plunges into the Earth in a place just before the Black Pine Forest begins to give way to swamp and then the Reeds and windar trees of the marsh Flats okay so it's Annihilation no it's wait hold on Jeff vandermeir Annihilation cuz there are different there are multiple things that it could be I don't knowa X okay you bind up this is area X okay so which what was it Annihilation oh okay the first book in area X oh you picked one of my favorite books of all time right I knew that this book I saw vandermeir and I knew that was one of your things so yes yes that's why I chose that yes okay are you ready yes did I only grab did you tell me you got seven but actually you got four I only grabbed four this can't be I thought i' grabb more than that anyway go ahead why are you such a mess I don't know I thought i' grabbed more than five okay this is so weird I'll have to go down and get one go ahead counting is hard oh at the height of the long wet Summer of the 77th year of Cavani the thief maker of kamor made a sudden and unannounced of priest at the Temple of parrum parrum I can hear I can hear the audio book narrator which I forget his name now Steven pacy stepen no no it's Paige Paige you're right and it's not Steven it's m um Michael P Michael page yes Ste I can hear him say those words desperately L hoping to sell him the the lamora boy yeah that's lies of L lamora that was that was a lot easier than I thought it's been years I should have pre-read that for a second it's been years since I've listened to the Audi book distinct it is but I like I can hear when you said a word what was the word paral landro pandro yes the Temple of paralandra probably as well word that word is not something I've heard it's not something I've heard since reading that book except for every listening to because I talk about this book so not pandro that's a that's a very but as soon as you said that word I was like oo I can hear his narration in my head go get more books well let's do this one first oh ready yeah this one you'll like pausing to collect himself Constantine the 11th pushed away the pile of City defense maps in front of him pulled his purple robe Tighter and weighted I don't have any idea I don't have a clue I don't know I give up a death is in why would you pick the last book because I didn't want to put the first book cuz it's obvious dad gone yeah I should have known well looks like you failed all right I could have swore I got more than only four books did you take one out seven no like six in here I thought that's bad did you take one out don't look I got my eyes closed this book is is largely concerned with blank and from its Pages a reader may discover much of their character and a little of their history ah uh this is The Hobbit do you want to try one more guess um of Hobbits it's the book that Bilbo wrote is it but I don't know the title is it is it concerning Hobbits on on Hobbits about Hobbits this is this is not the Hobbit oh is this uh the simarillion no oh is this just the first line of Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring yay huh I didn't realize the Fellowship of the Ring started off with that line yeah I thought I thought start in the sh well I know that but I didn't realize huh yeah I guess it's true you do saw in the Shire you have to go get two it just sounded like it sounded like that's the one book that I wasn't sure if you had ever attempted to read have you ever tried Lord of the Rings uh I don't know no I've never tried to read Lord of the Rings I've just watched the movies I figured it would still be familiar enough I've just watched the movies yeah all right go get two more books I loved Fellowship of the Ring I watched fellowship with the ring like back when I was in Middle School and High School like that's I had the extended uh like the the big box set DVD collection where you could watch all the director's commentary and you have like the all the behind the scenes stuff and I loved literally everyone has done that so what I'm going to say about this one is that you are going to love the first line of this book but you're also not going to get it okay but you could get it I mean like it's not out of the it's it's it's a good one just I don't think you're going to get it but you're going to love it with all that Preamble yeah for real here it is I guess that on the first try nothing could compete with the experience experience of dangling from the rigging tens of feet in the air fresh sea a in your face while looking across an infinite plane of shimmering blue water blue water oh okay so it's not I was thinking maybe Trust of the emerald SE uh dangling from the rigging that sounds that's a line you should love I do love I Absol that's an incredible opening line I'm immediately intrigued and would like to read that book it's not um Skyward is it no you me give you one little hint yeah you are on the right path so it is trust no but you're you're you know in you know you're you're thinking on the right you're right author yeah right author ah so right author and no I mean what's funny is as soon as you said that I was like that sounds like a Sanderson opener yeah um the pros is very Sanderson I think so I can hear Michael Kramer delivering that line I would have rather him just say uh dozens of feet instead of tens I thought that was that that that actually Jarred me a little bit too um I mean even if tens of feet would have been slightly more accurate just say dozens if it's a hard you could have 24 ft and it be dozens as opposed to 20 ft and it be T what come on just say dozens it is Dawn Shard da Shard everyone I okay yeah you're right I wouldn't have guessed that two blank I want to apologize that's the first line that's sad I'll give you a second line though first line is I want to apologize for everything I am going to do over the next 18 or so years I'm sorry for everything I'm about to do over the next 18 or so years I don't know that doesn't sound familiar at all okay I'll I'll fill in the blank I'll actually read the true first line oh okay to my son I want to apologize for everything I'm going to do over the next 18 oh that's things I wish my son knew about the world a things my son needs to know about the world right byck bman yeah that one I've not even read that yes you have no I haven't oh I just had you read certain sections of it yeah no I I refused to read that book you cried over the sections I made you read I'm not going to read that I threw it too all right so oh last one last one the story so far oh man I should have read this I know I felt the same way when I did lies of luck lamora it's okay lies of Lu lamora was a gimme fine the story so far in the beginning the universe was created this has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move heers Guide to the Galaxy that's a brilliant opening line it's such a good opening line wow right yeah no keep reading actually the whole first page oh honey I got it wrong oh no it's restaurant at the end of the lane at the end of the universe which is restaurant at the ocean at the end of the lane no that's that's Neil G this is book two I got it wrong I guessed Hitchhiker's Guide to the G oh yeah I didn't even I just picked this and thought it was hitchers well then you don't have to read the rest of the page cuz I don't actually remember how that one starts it's a good one anyway this has been fun oh that's

with the was the color of Bad Blood uh Taylor you know what you also don't get a point for things my son needs to know about the world I read you three lines yeah but that's not that's not fair cuz I haven't read it you that that was that was okay that was really impressive to get that from that opening line I would disagree I think that's a very distinct open Line I've never read that I think you
