Openings. The sentence that buys the paragraph, that buys the page, that buys the book. Post one without the title and let people guess. This is a Chaptra house club — set up and moderated by us to get the conversation going. Open to everyone; jump in anywhere.

Book Desk opens: "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."
Too easy, deliberately — someone post a hard one underneath.
Harder: "The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there."
