Teaser Tuesdays

teasertuesdays2 TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:

  • 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!

"Even if I were in prison, and this was the only thing on my wall, I wouldn't waste my time with it.  I'd look at my feet or at my mattress or whatever, but not this, no way."

I tried my best not to sound too hopeful.  "Is someone sending you to prison?"

- When You are Engulfed in Flames, David Sedaris, p. 144

See, I read little snippets of Sedaris and laugh, I hear him on This American Life and laugh, I read his books and...don't really laugh. Maybe I just need to try him on an audiobook?
