Opening Sentence (this author born on January 1)

Noticed in Writer's Almanac dot-org (Garrison Keillor, American Public Media):
The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger opens:
"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth."
