It’s been a long while between Teaser Tuesdays, but I’m reading a lot of stuff I want to share lately, so it’s back.
Teaser Tuesday is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.
- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page.
- 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!
“It is to the 30+ testosteronically afflicted males whose cases have been documented in the past two years that your correspondents wish to dedicate this article. And to those tormented souls considering autocastration in 1998, we wish to say: “Stop! Stay your hand! Hold off with those kitchen utensils and/or wire cutters!” ”
(From Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace)

It’s a collection of essays, the essay this comes from is about adult film industry awards… It’s pretty great, I’m enjoying it. 🙂

“The night was freezing cold. Watching the white clouds of the Mongolian soldiers’ breath bloom and vanish in the darkness, I felt as if a strange error had brought me into the landscape of someone else’s nightmare.” – Murakami, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle (which I’m actually not enjoying all that much, although it is strangely compelling.)
And curse DFW for removing himself from our company, real and imagined.
