That would have to be one of the most boring starts I've read in ages. I couldnt finish the second paragraph.
You spent more time describing what appears to be a minir character than the main one. You know, the 'I' in the story. Is it he or she, young or old, fat or skinny? Likes old books is all you wrote.
I disagree with the previous comment. This is obviously the set-up for a long and detailed story that revolves around character and plot. I look forward to reading more.
Some of your locations are strange. I struggle to figure out where the story is located. London? LA? The northwest was mentioned, I think.
