“It was a cold morning, and he shivered a little; but he
had been taught by his uncle that his prayers were more acceptable to God if he
said them in his nightshirt than if he waited till he was dressed. This did not
surprise him, for he was beginning to realize that he was the creature of a God
who appreciated the discomfort of his worshippers.”
Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham

Good teaser -- I haven't read this one.
ReplyDeleteAw, what a misconception!
ReplyDeleteIndeed. The main character has already evolved beyond this belief, but not to something better. I am not certain I'll be a big fan of this book when finished. But it is a microcosm of life...there are some that believe very much along these lines, so it is interesting to learn of their pathos even in fiction.
DeleteOh nice teaser, I'm intrigued.
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteMine this week is from a cozy mystery, and also a bonus teaser:

I read this one because of the old Bette Davis movie and liked the book too.
ReplyDeleteMine this week is from one of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books: http://wp.me/pZnGI-nr
I haven't read this one but would be interested to learn more. My adult teaser comes from Clockwork Secrets by Dru Pagliassotti. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I've never read this classic! I'm going to download it to my Kindle right now.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features The Chair.
Great teaser! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Teaser from Awakening Iris!
