Teaser Tuesday (February 9)

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 path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being–one of many ways–and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

[Note: One of the best, and most famous, SF novels ever. I read it from time to time to remind myself why I love this genre so much -and it still gives me shivers.]

( ~ Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, 1959, Kindle Edition)

    This is one of my favorites too. Have you seen the movie? I have a thriller this week. The teaser on my adult blog comes from A Voice from the Field by Neal Griffin. Happy reading!

    Ah! I have not read this classic, though I’m aware I should do so – especially as you love it so much. Thank you for swinging by earlier and commenting on the Tom Pollock offering:)

      Hi, thanks – I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. And for a writer there’s an added bonus – you see the MC evolving just by looking at the way his language changes, page after page. Had I thought I could write, that one would have made me desperate 😀

    Wow! I love profound thoughts that make you sit and think. I also slipped over to Goodreads to get the synopsis and this sounds like an utterly amazing concept. I went right away and bought it from Amazon. Thanks for that. Here’s my link for intro and teaser this Tuesday: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-1aM

      Yes, it’s quite an amazing (and original) book – if you think it has been written in 1959. Certain things have no age 🙂

    This is one of those unforgettable books I read many years ago. I not only loved the book, I also enjoyed the movie (“Charly”) based on the book. A great story.
    My Tuesday post features THE GIVER.

      Hello Sandra, funny enough I’ve never watched the movie – I need to catch up.

    How funny – I was just looking at a copy of this in the bookshop today. I might just have to go back and pick it up 😀

    My teaser is from Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan
