Teaser Tuesday June 4



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 Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!


My teaser this week is from:
"There was dancing now on the canvas in the garden; old men pushing young girls in eternal graceless circles, superior couples holding each other tortuously, fashionably, and keeping in the corners--and a great number of single girls dancing individualistically or relieving the orchestra for a moment of the burden of the banjo or the traps. By midnight the hilarity had increased." page 34-35


The other day, I saw the trailer for the movie version of this and I realized, I have never read it. So, I borrowed it from my daughter and am taking the plunge. So, what are you reading? Leave a link in the comment box and I will stop by and check it out!

    I have to admit I still have not read this classic. That excerpt paints the scene beautifully.

    I don't think I've read this one, although I feel as if I have, since I've seen the movie several times.

    But I must read it! Thanks for tempting me...and here's MY TUESDAY MEMES POST

    Great teaser! I re-read the book recently and realised how great Fitzgerald is with his prose (never noticed it the first time around).

    Here's my teaser(s) for this week: http://www.rulethewaves.net/blog/?p=4798

    I haven't read it either, although I've seen (and loved) the movie. I was reminded of this one again when I saw the movie Midnight in Paris.

    Thanks for sharing...love that cover!
