The openings of famous novels follow me around for days on end or just lounge around waiting for me to say them. The opening of MOBY DICK has gone for a pee. The opening of A TALE OF TWO CITIES has fallen asleep by the radiator. The opening of PRIDE & PREJUCIDE is sipping a cup of Earl Grey tea. “Call me Ishmael...Call me Ishmael! ” pleads the opening of MOBY DICK returning from the loo. “Have you washed your hands? ” I ask it. “It was the best of the worst of times...” declaims the Dickens confused upon awakening. “Say me...say me! ” they all clamour...crowding around me. I just stare at them in silence wondering how I got into this.
