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:
“The only fixed point in this mental vacillation is that he can do without either one, for every choice has an obverse, that is to say a renunciation. And so there is no difference between the act of choosing and the act of renouncing.”
[Note: An amazing book, fantasy in its purest form – strange tales out of Tarot decks – from one of my favourite authors ever.]
( ~ The Castle of Crossed Destinies by Italo Calvino, 1973, Kindle Edition)
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.
My goodness – the prose style is very striking! I haven’t read any of Calvino’s work. My offering this week is:

Ah I love Calvino! but have not read this one yet, thanks for sharing!
I think you’d like this one or also The Invisible Cities. Checked out yours, and posted a comments there 🙂
