I am reading two books at the moment, and they both have great paragraphs I just have to share with the world, so here is book 1:

'Chapter 1
If you have ever peeled an onion, then you know that the first thin, papery layer reveals another thin, papery layer, and that layer reveals another, and another, and before you know it you have hundreds of layers all over the kitchen and thousands of tears in your eyes, sorry that you ever started peeling it in the first place and wishing that you had left the onion alone to wither away on the shelf of the pantry while you went on with your life, even if that meant never again enjoying the complicated and overwhelming taste of this strange and bitter vegatable.'

Series of unfortunate events by Lemony Snicket - The end

Hows that for a first topic sentence?

And book 2:

'She reached down into his throat and grabbed his heart, pulled it out, threw it on the floor, stepped on it with her high heels, spat on it, shoved it in the oven and burnt it. Then she sliced it into little pieces, slammed it on a hunk of toast and served it to him, and then expected him to say, thanks honey, it was delicious.'
