Teaser Tuesday: The Squire's Quest


Teaser Tuesday is a weekly book meme hosted by Should be Reading

Basically, the rules are:
* Grab your current read.
* Let the book fall to a random page.
* Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
* Share the title of the book that you're getting your teaser from... That way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you've given!
* Please avoid spoilers!

I'm doing The Squire's Quest by Gerald Morris today.

pg 42

"Yes, that is what I mean. If you love, you must suffer first in the heart!"

Sarah pushed her chair back from the table and rose. "I quite understand; I have a touch of indigestion myself."

Bahahaha! I love Gerald Morris' books. They're always very funny, along with the amazing King Arthur mythology!

I'm doing A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess:

pg 78

"I gave them the ultra-violence, the crasting, the dratsing, the old in-out in-out, the lot, right up to this night's veshch with the bugatty starry ptitsa with the mewing kots and koshkas. And I made sure my so-called droogs were in it, right up to the shiyah."

Delightfully mind-boggling? Yes. The Nadsat (slang) takes a bit getting used to, but I'm really liking A Clockwork Orange so far. I think part of the beauty of it is not knowing what half the words mean--and trying to figure them out. The Nadsat makes the violence Alex is participating in slightly more bearable.

I'm doing Wings by Aprilynne Pike today:

pg. 150

She met his eyes and for a moment couldn't look away. His bright green eyes held onto hers. He looked mostly human, but there was something--she couldn't quite put her finger on it--that seemed to indicate that he was more than he appeared to be.


Ooh. Doesn't he sound nice? What's not to like about bright green eyes? I'm having a good time reading Wings so far :D
