“I don’t
love.” ~ Lieutenant Henry
from A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
(Yeah, I
cheated. It’s more than two sentences.)
Teaser
Tuesdays 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 so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR
Lists if they like your teasers!
LOL still a good teaser though!

very interesting teaser! Here is My Teaser
ReplyDeleteLet's face it — 2 sentences hardly ever does it. Mine are almost always more but I rationalize it that if the author had just used punctuation differently . . . Oh, well. Here's my teaser from Dashiell Hammett's The Continental Op: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-Zp
ReplyDeleteSometimes you need more than two!
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser
I haven't read this one since high school which was quite a while ago. The teaser on my adult blog comes from a new military thriller - Tenacity by J. S. Law. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteA classic. I'm asking myself why I've never read this book!
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features Shem Creek.
I'm in favour of extra sentences! :D
ReplyDeleteI need to read some Ernest Hemingway asap and since I need a Pulitzer Prize winning-book to complete my PopSugar 2015 Reading Challenge I may as well bump 'The Old Man and the Sea' to the top of the list ^^
I guess what I'm saying is thank you for the reminder!
You're welcome. I've only read three works by Hemingway, and have not yet read The Old Man and the Sea, but some people whose reviews I respect gave it good marks.
DeleteOne of my daughter's favorite books, and a classic that I have yet to read. This quote is so Hemingway!
ReplyDeleteI have very mixed feelings on Hemingway. This is good so far. I didn't like The Sun Also Rises, but I did like For Whom the Bell Tolls.
