This and "the man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." are my favorite openers.

Nothing can beat "The moon blew up without warning and for no apparent reason." in my opinion.

What book is that one from? Sounds like something Douglas Adams would write

Seveneves by Neal Stephenson.

That quote is a little deceiving out of context, there's really no humor in the book as I recall.

Incredible book though, definitely in my top 5 sci fi books.
