See if you can guess the author and book this opener comes from:

"It begins, as most things begin, with a song."

If you're stuck, try the included link to Amazon.

Depends on the book. Some of the ones Golophin has posted, I can't find on Google. People can choose whether they want to use Google or Amazon for help, or not.

So, if you're such an expert Googler, do you have an answer?

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman

I did not want to post an answer to give the non-cheaters a chance...

Anansi Boys by Gaiman is correct!

People are free to use or not use google or Amazon searches to find the answer. I don't consider it cheating (because sometimes it's hard to find, even then), but if you do, then you're welcome to play the game however you like. Let your own conscience be your guide. I just want to turn more people on to different books. Catch their attention with an opening line in the hopes that they will try reading the book in question.

Golophin and I have a review of Anansi Boys if anyone is interested:
