Teaser Tuesday: March 22, 2011

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. It is a meme that lets you see what your fellow bloggers are reading and gives you a glimpse at books you may want to read. Anyone can participate so long as they follow the rules:

1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a random page
3. Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
4. PLEASE DON'T SHARE SPOILERS! Try not to give away too much with your selection.
5. Share the title, author, and page numbers so that others can add it to their to-be-read list if they want.

My teaser of the week:

"'You are mistaken, Elinor,' said she warmly, 'in supposing I know very little of Willoughby. I have not known him long indeed, but I am much better acquainted with him, than I am with any other creature in the world, except yourself and mama.'"

This selection is from page 60 of the Girlebooks ebook edition of Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.

After my experience with Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, I am very relieved to be reading this! The last thing I want is to be trying to remember the course of the plot and have sea monsters pop into my head! This is only my fourth time reading S&S (I've read Pride and Prejudice more often), so I think it was pretty important to re-read this now.
