Here's mine from Flaubert's Parrot by Julian Barnes:

The next morning they found him perched in a tree. Persuading him to come down proved very difficult, until someone had the idea of placing at the foot of his tree an enormous parrot cage.

The title alone intrigued me. I figured it had to have something to do with Gustav Flaubert, and indeed, it did. I was pleased to see that my library had the book. So I put it on my list. Thanks!
