Teaser Tuesday, January 27

  • Grab your current read.
  • Let the book fall open to a random page.
  • Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
  • You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
  • Please avoid spoilers!

    • The roundup is at Should be Reading.

    My teaser is from The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World, by Eric Weiner. This comes from the chapter on Iceland:
    "I smile, though Larus can't possibly know why, can't possibly know how please I am to hear the word 'naive' used as anythign other than a pejorative. Nearly twenty years ago, I had a run-in with the 'n' word." p. 164.
    What are you reading this week?

    Good quote. I've not read the book yet. I love new words. Had to look up pejorative. Thanks.
