great opening lines:lisey’s story by stephen king

To the public eye, the spouses of well-known writers are all but invisible, and no one knew it better than Lisey Landon.  Her husband had won the Pulitzer and the National Book Award, but Lisey had given only one interview in her life.  This was for the well-known women’s magazine that publishes the column “Yes, I’m Married to Him!”  She spent roughly half of its five-hundred-word length explaining that her nickname rhymed with “CeeCee.”  Most of the other half had to do with her recipe for slow-cooked roast beef.  Lisey’s sister Amanda said that the picture accompanying the interview made Lisey look fat.

Lisey’s Story by Stephen King is the TBB Online Book Club pick for this month.  The Tampa Book Buzz Online Book Club is housed at Target’s Bookmarked website.  Each month we pick a book to read and discuss on the Bookmarked site.  During the month, I’ll post tidbits about the author and/or the book here.  At the end of the month, I’ll tell you what I thought of the book and hopefully you’ll do the same.  Email me at tampafilmfan(at)aol.com for more info or to join.
