Teaser Tuesday - October 15th, 2013


Teaser Tuesdays is a 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!
My Teaser:

"That's what many people remember about the 1980s:  neon fashions, the jumbled faces on a Rubik's Cube, Duran Duran videos on MTV.  But the real spirit of the decade was the valorization of work:  relentless industry as the supreme virtue."

~ p. 48, "Last Night at the Viper Room:  River Phoenix and the Hollywood He Left Behind" by Gavin Edwards
