May I suggest, "Call me Ishmael."
Edited to add: I don't read Spanish, so it was interesting to see so familiar a line translated into a language beside English. Thank you, Terisa, for sharing it.
And Pride and Prejudice. A true classic. Another opening that is wonderfully familiar.
And re: I am the she-tiger Fu, I like her style and suspect I would enjoy the book.
