Book Beginnings and The Friday 56 (13 March)

Book Beginnings is a meme hosted every Friday by Rose City Reader where you share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.  Please remember to include the title of the book and the author’s name. 

The Friday 56 is a meme hosted every Friday by Freda's Voice.
The Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that's ok.)
 *Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it)
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url.
*It's that simple.

Both my Book Beginning and my Friday 56 are from William Goldman's The Princess Bride.

My Book Beginning:
"This is my favourite book in all the world, though I have never read it."
My Friday 56:
"My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches."

    I love the movie adaptation for The Princess Bride and read the book years ago, I should really reread it. Great teasers!

    It has been a long time since I read the book or watched the movie. Great reminder of why I loved both.

    I've never read the book or seen the movie. I think I need to fix that. LOL

      Yes! You should definitely either read it or watch it or both! Everyone I know loves it.

    I have watched this movie so many times I can basically recite it but I'm not sure I ever read the book. I remember starting it but I'm not sure if I finished it. I'll definitely have to fix that!

      I'm the same with the movie. I watch it a good few times each year!

    I've seen the movie more than once but never read the book. Sounds like I need to get a copy!

      The book is amazing! But I do love them both equally which is unusual for me .

Discussion: The Problem With My Local Library

I used to use my local library all the time when I was in school.  Source I even spent every lunchtime in my school's library. My friends and I were pupil librarians and we practically had the run of the whole library. And then, when I started University, the only library I had time for was the University library. And that wasn't an enjoyable experience. However, last summer I started going to my local library again. (I then had to stop again when I got my job.) And unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed.  Source The availability sucks. I can deal with books I want that are already out on loan. It's the complete lack of decent books the library has on its system that gets to me. All those months I went to the library last year and I never left with a book that was already on my TBR. I walked around that place looking at my Goodreads trying to find any book on that list. And I couldn't find any at all (except for the Classics). To be honest, I ...
