@bicyclethiefHis Dark Materials is f**king amazing. Doesn't matter if it's YA, I still recommend that to everyone.Also the movies are an absolute abomination.
"Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge’s name was good upon ’Change for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was as dead as a doornail."
"It's a remarkable piece of apparatus," said the officer....Kafka's "In the Penal Colony." Completely creepy once you understand what the apparatus does.

The book is definitely amazing, but I don't think that opening line deserved number one to be honest.

Sure The Aeneid fantastic, but the opening lines are far from outrageous, not even to the contemporary listener. Catullus, on the other hand...
