That's a clever idea! Sometimes the opening paragraph tells you more about a book than its cover or description.
What I find particularly interesting is the possibility of discovering forgotten classics. There are so many wonderful public-domain books that rarely appear on recommendation lists.
Of course, some great novels take a few chapters to really get going. But as a discovery tool, I think this is a fantastic concept.
I'd love to see which lesser-known authors people discover this way!
