Should Be Reading<\/a>. You go to a random page from a book you’re reading and post two teaser sentences from that page.<\/p>\nI think it’s especially fun today, because I wasn’t quite sure what book I wanted to pick up tonight. Bedtime’s still a couple hours away, so let’s see if I get any responses. And I will see what teasers I come up with. Here are the two books I am considering.<\/p>\n
Candidate one I started at the doctor’s office last week. It comes highly recommended, has an intriguing premise and has a long wait list at the library, so I need to turn my copy in. The only trouble is that it didn’t quite grab me. But I wanted to give it one more chance. Let’s see what teaser I come up with. <\/p>\n
Hmm. Now that I”m doing this, I don’t think I will post the titles and authors until after I have come up with the teasers. Okay, Teaser number one:<\/p>\n
What if literature were a television we gaze into in order to activate our mirror neurons and give ourselves some action-packed cheap thrills? And even worse: what if literature were a television showing us all the things we have missed?<\/em><\/p>\nCandidate Number Two is a fluffy holiday book. I get this silly hankering for them this time of year. You can kind of tell that’s what it is with Teaser number two:<\/p>\n
Megan noticed he was wearing the sneakers with the sutures again. He didn’t have any money, she guessed.<\/em><\/p>\nHmm. I’m still not sure which book I’ll read tonight, though I’m afraid the fluffy one is losing appeal by how hard it was to find a page that had any interesting sentences at all.<\/p>\n
The titles of the books are Candidate Number One: The Elegance of the Hedgehog,<\/em> by Muriel Barbery, and Candidate Number Two: Thanksgiving,<\/em> by Janet Evanovich.<\/p>\nWhich do you think I should tackle tonight?
