Recently I picked up Dostoevsky's "Notes from the underground" and I felt for it right off the bat (it starts with "I am ill"). Thinking about it, all my favorites start this sort of opening. I can hardly bring myself to read a story where things go well in the beginning. Wouldn't it be boring?
The first Bukowski's words that I read was the novel Women. Honestly I think the reason it interested me was the opening line. "I was 50 years old and hadn't been to bed with a women for four years. I had no women friends".
am I ill? or you too agree with me on this?
