First Lines Friday

First Lines Friday is a bookish meme hosted by Literary Marie of Precision Reviews. I encourage all of my fellow book bloggers and bookhearts to play along.

• Grab your current read(s). (Read during my break)
• Share the first line(s).
• Include the title and author.

"Coma. There's something innocuous about the word, soothing almost in the way it conjures up the image of a dreamless sleep."

"Nothing lasts, not forever. Not laughter, not lust, not even life itself. Not forever. Which is why we make the most of what we have."

~ House of Cards by Michael Dobbs
