* 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!
"I'm glad that you approve. I daren't face the healthy person-for example, Freddy Honeychurch."
"Oh Freddy's a good sort, isn't he?"
"Admirable. The sort who has made England what she is."
pg. 105, A Room with a View by E. M. Forster
My first Forster book. I did not realize he had written some other famous books, such as Where Angels Fear To Tread and Howard's End. I may have to pick those up someday.
What are you teasing me with today?
Today must be the day for teasers from classics; I posted from Middlemarch.
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved that book! (loved the movie, too) Thanks for the link, Jenny Girl.
ReplyDeleteE.M.Forster's works have made out pretty well in the transition to film.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser - I read that one a while back and really liked it.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Teaser! ~ Wendi
It's been a few years since I read Forster. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteA lovely book - thank you for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! I've never read any Forster--utterly shameful as that is for an English Lit major to have to admit!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for adding me to your blog list, by the way--that was really lovely of you!
I haven't read any by that author. My teaser is on my blog http://themaidenscourt.blogspot.com/2009/07/teaser-tuesday.html.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Freddy is a good chap!!
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser!
I haven't read anything by this author. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the book.
ReplyDeleteA Room With a View is one of my faves -- enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI think I must have read this years ago, but can't for the life of me remember the plot. Time to revisit it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to say I've never read anything by Forster.
ReplyDeleteI like it when people come together and share many thoughts. Great website, continue the Excellent work!
