   Some time ago, I read one of those books...this one was about openings.   
   It's thesis was the belief that it is possible to write an opening so   
   strong, that editors, literary agents, readers, publishing executives   
   are compelled to read on.  One of the examples mentioned the   
   assassination of JFK in the first sentence.  Author claimed that this   
   made it so interesting that people MUST read it.   
      
   What I thought was that, "There are a lot of books about JFK.  Why   
   should I read this one?"   
      
   Of course, we want to be interesting, the get the quality of being   
   interesting.  What do you think makes a fragment or piece of writing   
   interesting?
