The prospective first lines for Monstrous Regiment are:
The last book is Groucho Marx's Memoirs of a Mangy Lover
The Blurb:
Q. WHAT IS A GROUCHO?
A. A leer surrounded by a moustache
Q. WHAT DOES IT EAT?
A. Cigars
Q. WHERE DOES IT LIVE?
A. Near well-rounded members of the female sex.
One of the funniest creatures who ever lived - the craziest Don Juan in the history of seduction - reveals the ultimate secrets of his tried-and-true methods: unabridged, unexpurgated - and unlikely.
God, what a lousy blurb. I'm going to skip the excerpt unless anyone asks for one, as I assume that we all know what Groucho Marx sounds like. I'm looking of the first line of Chapter One, Hurray for the Difference!, from Part One, L'Amour the Merrier.

The prospective first lines for Monstrous Regiment are:
- Borogravia had always been at war with Ankh-Morpork.
- Polly crouched down behind a bush, praying her dress wouldn't show through the leaves.
- Polly cut off her hair in front of the mirror, feeling slightly guilty about not feeling very guilty about doing so.
- Polly didn't know where her brother was, but she knew how to find him.
- Sergeant Jackrum looked over the new recruits as they stumbled into something like ranks, if ranks looked anything like the Mended Drum at closing time.
- She had her reasons for it, not that those reasons made a difference in the end.
- Some things, Polly found, were far more difficult than they had any right to be.
- The inn was always busy at this time of day, but Polly couldn't help noticing the strangely dressed man sitting at the bar.
- The loud, raucous clanging that came bursting from the street below could only mean one of two things: either Miss Sally was throwing pots at Old Tagger that bounced off his plate armor again, or the military recruiter and his marching band had returned.
- The news of her brother hit hard, like a knife in her gut.
- Tuesday was a busy day - Borogravia ran out of beer, the colour blue was declared an Abomination, and Polly Perks got a letter.
The last book is Groucho Marx's Memoirs of a Mangy Lover
