Every so often in the New York Times Book Review they publish an article
in which they ask a number of Literary Persons a Literary Question, generally
concerning the experience of reading.  Answering these questions can be fun
and I'd like to pose a few of them to the net.  To avoid cluttering the net 
with replies, please send your responses to me and I will post them in a few 
weeks.

Here are the questions:

1) What are your favorite opening line(s) in a book, and why?

2) Is there a particular book or author whose books you've wanted to read
   and have started (perhaps a number of times) but never been able to finish?
   Which book or author and why do you think this is?

3) Which fictional character would you most like to be and why?

----------
Again, mail your responses to me and I will post them in a few weeks.
DON'T post them to the net.
