Book Beginnings on Friday

Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by Katy from A Few More Pages. Instructions are pretty clear: just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading.

 This week's entry -Tea Obreht's The Tiger's Wife: A Novel

In my earliest memory, my grandfather is bald as a stone and he takes me to see the tigers.

This struck me on a personal level. My paternal grandfather passed years before I was born, and in the  photographs I have seen of him he would have also been as bald as a stone had we ever met and gone to see anything, let alone tigers.
