This week my teaser comes from "A Spectacle of Corruption" by David Liss, which I dedicate to my romance-loving friends:
"But despite what the novelists will tell us, we live in a world more inclined to pragmatic action than romantical ideals. We might sit about with neat little volumes and imagine the blissful love in a cottage but such ideas are but phantasms. We cannot live them. Instead, we must eat and dress and comport ourselves with companions of our liking. And it is always preferable to live without fear of creditors."
Now that is a mouth full. ;D Hope you are enjoying the read. :) Sounds like it might be a good one.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying it immensely - it is a mouthfull of a teaser but I didn't feel like shortening it.
ReplyDeleteNice teaser. It teased me. :-) it's very lyrical and literary in a sense.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked it Lena. The book is indeed a bit lyrical but not overly so.
ReplyDeleteYep, living without fear of creditors is definitely preferable! (But not if it means resorting to crime to achieve that)
ReplyDeleteInteresting title.
The book is interesting as well, thanks for your visit, Tracy! Have you ever thought of getting rid of a creditor in a criminal way, lol?
ReplyDeleteOh please... you hate this author! lol
ReplyDeleteThe review is coming ;p, thanks for reminding me, Melissa!
