Teaser Tuesday (September 29)

Steph P. Bianchini September 29, 2015 8 Comments

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm.

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!

That’s my choice of the day: 

“Sex can be used either for self-affirmation or for self-transcendence — either to intensify the ego and consolidate the social persona by some kind of conspicuous ‘embarkation’ and heroic conquest, or else to annihilate the persona and transcend the ego in an obscure rapture of sensuality, a frenzy of romantic passion. More creditably, in the mutual charity of the perfect marriage.”

( ~ The Devils of Loudun, by Aldous Huxley,1952, Kindle edition.)

[Note: This is a non-fiction, highly accurate, historical novel, portraying the amazing and complex story of demoniac possession, and political intrigue, in a French XVII century provincial town. I have always loved witchcraft and, in this case as in others, reality is stranger than fiction. Huxley at his best.]

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your ‘teasers’ in a comment here and/or in A Daily Rhythm’s blog.
