Teaser Tuesday: The October Country by Ray Bradbury

 

Welcome to Teaser Tuesday, the weekly Meme that wants you to add books to your TBR! You can also just share what you are currently reading. We make it very easy to play along, it is as easy as 1, 2, 3! Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Ambrosia at the Purple Booker.

1: Grab your current read 2: Open to a random page 3: 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! Everyone loves Teaser Tuesday.

"From the age of twelve I knew I was in a life and death match, winning every time I finished a new story, threatened with extinction on those days I did not write. The only answer, then, was: write. I have written every day of my life since my twelfth year. Death has not caught me yet. He will, eventually, of course, but for the time being the sound of my IBM Wheelwriter Number Ten electric typewriter puts him off his feed."

This edition of The October Country by Ray Bradbury was published September 1996 by Del Rey. 

I've heard a similar idea come from those who love to read. "My TBR list is so long I won't have time to die."

At any rate, the masterful way in which Bradbury uses language shows that he has had plenty of practice. It's not too far fetched to imagine him writing a story a day.

If this piques your interest, the Kindle version is available at Amazon for $1.99 I make nothing by sharing that with you.

What book are you reading this week? Got a teaser you'd like to share? Feel free to put it or a link in the comments. Happy Reading!
