Tuesday Teaser
It’s that time of week again, everyone, and time for the Tuesday Teaser. Sorry I’m a bit late in posting it this time; life has a way of intervening, alas. But better late than never, to labour through a cliche!
Again the reminder of what this is all about. We are asked to:
- Grab our current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share two teaser sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
- Share the title of the book that the “teaser” comes from, so people can find the book if they like the teaser.
- And again remember – avoid spoilers.
So here’s mine again:
He knew, subconsciously, that, having seen the stars, he would never be happy again. The dull ache in his breast, the vague inchoate yearning for his lost heritage of open sky and stars, was never to be silenced, even though he was yet too ignorant to be aware of it at the top of his mind.
This is from the book I wrote about a couple of days ago, Orphans of the Sky, by Robert A. Heinlein, this Berkley Medallion Edition published November, 1970. This quote is found on page 37.
As always, to do your own Tuesday Teaser, either you can write it on your own blog and leave a comment here with a link, or do the teaser itself in the comments here. And post your teaser on the originating blog, Should Be Reading.
Happy reading!
