First Chapter, First Paragraph Tuesday Intros. May 2nd

First Chapter, First Paragraph Tuesday Intros. is hosted by Bibliophile By the Sea and is all about sharing the first paragraph or two from a book you are about to read. I'll be finishing both an audiobook and a print book this week so I'll be ready for Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman for the start of #Boutofbooks 19 on Monday. It will also be #24 in my #Sixtybooks challenge for 2017.

Neverwhere (prologue)

"The night before he went to London, Richard Mayhew was not enjoying himself. He had begun the evening by enjoying himself: he had enjoyed reading the good-bye cards, and receiving the hugs from several not entirely unattractive young ladies of his acquaintance; he had enjoyed the warnings about the evils and dangers of London, and the gift of the white umbrella with the map of the London Underground on it that the lads had clubbed together to buy him; he had enjoyed the first few pints of ale; but then, with each successive pint of ale he found he was enjoying himself significantly less; until now he was sitting and shivering on the sidewalk outside the pub in a small Scottish town, weighing the conflicting merits of being sick and not being sick, and not enjoying himself at all."

Would you keep reading? I'm really looking forward to this one. :)
