My Teasers:“Putting your time in at the office; dutifully spawning your two point five; smiling politely at your retirement party; then chewing on your bedsheet and choking on your canned peaches at the nursing home. It was better never to have been born--never to have wanted anything, never to have hoped for anything.”
This is part of a passage that I think is one of the most strikingly well-written of the entire novel. I wish I could post the entire scene for you...BUT I GUESS YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO READ IT YOURSELF.
(Teaser Tuesday...you're doing it right.)
I'm on the hold list for this at the library (roughly half a million people are in line before me), but I'm a little nervous about getting it from the library due to its length. I'm really going to have to push myself to get through this one in three weeks. But gah, the teaser, yes, yes, I do want to read this soon.
ReplyIt definitely will take dedication to finish it on time, but the story is SO worth it.
I haven't taken the plunge on this one yet. It doesn't make sense, I can and have read big fat chunksters. I think the hype might be putting me off. I'm afraid I won't get it or like it.
ReplyHype almost ALWAYS puts me off books like this, but for some reason I went for it anyway...no regrets, it really is a great story.
