Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
The rules are:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two teaser sentences from somewhere on that page
- Be careful not to include spoilers
I'm finally reading a great classic I've meant to read for a very long time!
"Ignorance is the parent of fear, and being completely nonplussed and confounded by the stranger, I confess I was now as much afraid of him as if it was the devil himself who had thus broken into my room at the dead of night. In fact, I was so afraid of him that I was not game enough just then to address him, and demand a satisfactory answer concerning what seemed inexplicaple in him." [Moby Dick by Herman Melville, p. 42]

Great teaser! I keep meaning to read Moby Dick but keep finding excuses to put it off. It looks like it won't be too hard to read though.
My teaser is here if you'd like a look :)
I read Moby Dick long ago, but I don't remember it being this interesting. Thanks for the jumpstart of my memory. Here's Mine
Oh, I like that "ignorance is the parent of fear." Very wise.
Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
Great teaser! I've not read Moby Dick but I've always wanted to. Hopefully one day I can fit it into my reading schedule. Thanks for stopping by my teaser.
Hello! Thanks for the visit to my blog!
Interesting teaser. Even though I love reading Classic books, I have always been intimidated by Moby Dick. I don't think I have the guts to try it out.
Thanks! I like yours too =) Thaks for visiting!
