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.]
