Teaser Tuesdays (Aug.17)

August 17, 2010

teasertuesdays31 Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teasers:

“How many people have been waiting their entire lives for a message from God when they’ve been staring it in the face all along?”

~ p. 44, “Nudge“ by Leonard Sweet

 

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your 2 ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!

    Something a bit serious from the excellent “Blood-Dark Track – A Family History” by Joseph O’Neill – wonderful delving into the history of his family via the experiences of his Turkish (Syrian) and Irish grandfathers.
    In this excerpt he’s talking about a relation who may have been involved in the assassination of a former British naval office living in the south of Ireland after independence.

    “How could my great-uncle Tadhg, the man I was named after, who’d earned the respect and warm remembrance of my father and other decent people for his humanity and intelligence, who considered sectarianism anathematical to his strongly held nationalist principles, have reconciled himself to a sectarian killing?
    “Answer: because the onus of reconciliation only arises on the appearance of two mutually inconsistent facts. Tadhg didn’t for a moment see that he was committing a sectarian act, and so there was nothing for him to reconcile. And why didn’t he see? Once again, because only a single set of facts was visible to him: that Somerville’s actions made him a British agent who had forfeited life. A second, irreconcilable set of facts – that Somerville’s actions were no different from those of scores of others – was nowhere in sight.”

  79. This teaser was only one question and really made me think. Hmmm…I think I need a nudge myself.

  82. Oops! My teaser for Robin Brande’s Fat Cat is late (and long). Find it at Stuff & Nonsense.

  83. I’d guess that the answer to the question in your quote is “A Lot!!” That’s something for all of us to really think about.

    Here’s mine: http://aseaofbooks.blogspot.com/2010/08/teaser-tuesdays-queens-pawn-by-christy.html
