Mine this week comes from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
by Ken Kesey. The first sentence was awfully short so I'm giving you two. 
"They're out there. Black boys in white suits up before me to commit sex acts in the hall and get it mopped up before I can catch them."
I like this sentence. It lets you know off the bat what kind of story you're getting into. Clearly, we are not dealing with someone who still has all their marbles.

Something rather sinister about those opening lines. It's been such a long time since I read this book I probably need to do a reread.
Wow, sinister is a great word. THis is a classic that i have always thought of reading but never prioritised - perhaps its time!
