Episode One: No Nap Time for Kung Fu Space Pirate Captains!
It was a day much like any other day in the Oberon Galaxy. Captain McGregor, leader of the fiercest gang of kung-fu space pirates this side of the Mississippi Nebula, awoke from a pleasant dream
about pixies and whipping cream to the sound of his bedside radio crackling on. The gruff voice of his Secretary of Wicked Nasty Threats, Mark Right, shouted out his usual morning greeting: “We’re under attack!”

While searching, I found lots of books who contain those words within the first chapter, and it seems to be a popular way to start articles and blogs. I only found one book which actually starts with those words. It is actually a long poem.
THE DAY GOD INVENTED BLUEGRASS
by Michael J. Farrand
It was a day much like any other day
The day God invented bluegrass
Except that He was in a bit of a mood
Having listened to so much jazz.

THE MEANING OF LIFE? There are many.
It wasn't Moby. It begins: "call me ishmael" The proglogue begins "The pale Usher- threadbare in coat"
Its also not the hobbit. It begins: "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit."

I know 1984 By George Orwell starts something like that
'It was a day like any other and the clock was striking thirteen'
but that's just from memory it might not be those exact words.

No the George Orwell one is 1984 and starts with 'It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen'.

Rosa Parks in 1955 said:
"It was just a day like any other day. The only thing that made it significant was that the masses of the people joined in."

It's not the Hobbit, or Moby Dick, as others have already said.
It's also not A Tale of Two Cities - that's "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times."

There are or at least it seems like a lot of books that start with that phrase.
