The Mystery To This Book ...is to make you smile, laugh, or just shake your head. Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice 'without pictures or conversations?' And then the murders began. Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, By Lewis Carroll It all started with a small quote from Marc Laidlaw who created a nice approach to revisiting first lines of books. His 3 March 2017 tweet said, "The first line of almost any story can be improved by making sure the second line is, 'And then the murders began.'" You can try this for yourself as you go - take only the first line and add "And then the murders began." The results are more often than not incredibly hilarious. And even non-fiction can be as surprising. Above all, the idea is to have fun. Get Your Copy Now.
