First Lines of Books

I've been remiss at typing in the first lines of the books I've been reading. Here's two for you:

"Charlie Asher walked the earth like an ant walks on the surface of water, as if the slightest misstep might send him plummeting through the surface t obe sucked to the depths below." - A Dirty Job, by Christopher Moore. An absurdist author, he reads like a poor man's Tom Robbins.

"Call me... Captain James T. Kirk or Sergeant T.J. Hooker or Denny Crane Denny Crane or Twilight Zone plane passenger Bob Wilson or the Big Giant Head or Henry V or the Priceline Negotiator or..." - Up Till Now, by William Shatner. This book is hysterical.
