My favorite opening line is definitely "The following day, no one died.", from Saramago's Death with Interrruptions. Wonderful book.

Did you read it in English? If so, does it follow his very particular style using a capitalised word after a comma for dialogues?

Being able to enjoy Saramago at full potential is one of the few things that makes me very happy to be Portuguese.
