Teaser Tuesdays

After supper, by the fire, we drank hot beer. On a world where a common table implement is a little device with which you crack the ice that has formed on your drink between drafts, hot beer is a thing you come to appreciate.

From The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin, page 11

Teaser Tuesdays is a fun weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. 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!

  1. Wow! So you are reading ‘The Left Hand of Darkness’ :) It was featured in the New Yorker’s ‘Book Bench’ sometime back. Did you get to read about it? I got it as a Christmas present and am hoping to read it sometime this year. Looking forward to reading your review of it :) Great teaser :)

    1. Yup, reading it now and really enjoying it! :)

      I didn’t read the article then, but I’ve found several good pieces from The New Yorker about it, that I’ve bookmarked to read when I finish.

      I’ll post a book review when I finish, too. :)

what do you think?
