How to participate: Share the first line (or two) of the book you are currently reading. Include the title and the author so we know what you're reading. Then, if you feel so moved, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line, and let us know if you liked or did not like the sentence. The link-up will be here at A Few More Pages every Friday.

I am doing the One, Two Theme Reading Challenge and one of my themes is "dance" so when I saw a review of this book I wrote it down on my list of books to get. Then, I got an iPad this weekend so thought I'd experiment with buying an iBook and chose this one.

"The afternoon was so col, so relentlessly gray, few pedestrians passed the long island of trees dividing Commonwealth Avenue, and even little dogs, shunted along impatiently, wore thermal coats and offended expressions."




This opening line doesn't really set any stage or grab me, but I am enjoying the book so far.
