Every Saturday morning, I’ll share the first lines (or better yet, the first paragraph or first round idea) of a book I’m currently reading.

Here are the first lines of Doramar or the Odyssey: Stories, by Itamar Vieira Jr:

“‘Here is the limit’, the soldier points with the gun to a faint yellow line on the floor. Two barbed wire fences run parallel, having the road on one side and the back of a forest on the other.”

– Portuguese version, lose translation

Join me in the trend, grab the nearest book, and share the first lines in the comments with us. Or share the first line of a book you’ve recently reviewed and link to the post!
