First+Lines

OK, a game before taking off for election day.
 * Game 1: First lines**

We'll give a "first line" from a well known piece of literature and you guess what it is and then give a first line of your own for the community to guess.

Example: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," answer: Tale of Two Cities

So, to get started:

"Call me Ishmael."

Directions: Identify the correct piece (include author and publication year in parenthesis), and then pose another first line for the community to guess. Use the discussion tab, and reply to the thread that is currently running.
