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:
“You don’t fall in love because you fall in love; you fall in love because of the need, desperate, to fall in love. When you feel that need, you have to watch your step: like having drunk a philter, the kind that makes you fall in love with the first thing you meet – it could be a duck-billed platypus.”
( ~ Foucault’s Pendulum, by Umberto Eco, 1988, Kindle edition)
[Note: I’ve read it at least twice, but, in preparation for Eco’s new thriller – Number Zero – again on conspiracy theories, I decided to have a go at it again. I still find Foucault’s Pendulum one of the most fascinating books of the kind, in which every time you discover something new, together with the best portrait of the Rosicrucians in fiction I had the chance to read.]
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.
That’s one I’ve never read, but maybe I should try it. Happy Reading!
Thanks – It’s really great if you like the genre (i.e., if you enjoyed the Da Vince Code, you should give it a try, it’s soooo much better).
Sounds like an interesting read.
Happy Tuesday!
thanks Ali!
Ha!! I love his books!
😀
Ohh, excellent choice!
Happy you liked it 🙂
The only book by Eco I’ve read is The Name of the Rose — a wonderful medieval mystery that was made into a movie starring Sean Connery. It’s time I read something else by him. Thanks for that! Here’s my TT: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-115
Hello, yes, read the book and saw the movie, with also a young Christian Slater as Adso if I remember well… if you have liked that, you should enjoy the Pendulum too.
