books that instantly grab your attention

for this new series I’ve been looking back at the first pages of my favorite books. All of them have an enticing first page, but many of them also have a completely attention-grabbing opening line, a line that, as a writer myself, I know took months or years to perfect. Which one of these lines intrigues you most?
