Isabel rose to shake hands with the young man. The palm of his hand was warm, and slight moist, and she thought: He's been in the shower. That was why he had been dashing naked across the hall.
p.95 from The Sunday Philosophy Club by Alexander McCall Smith

ReplyDeleteTeaser/Whereabouts Tuesdays: Tintin and Cigars of the Pharaoh by Hergé
whoo hoo! on the teaser, and I hope it wasn't the same man that died :( If you want to wander down my road I’m home.
ReplyDeleteOK, that is funny. Great teaser!

Wonderful teaser ~ I absolutely adored the first few books in the series. . . somehow I've missed a few, but will have to fix that!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Teaser! ~ Wendi
Ohhhh, I love that teaser! Hope you're enjoying your book.
ReplyDeleteOne to take a closer peek at! ;)
ReplyDeleteI really need to read his books! Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteI like the teaser! Am I the only person who has not read any of his books??
ReplyDeleteDiane -- I started one of the books once, and just could not get interested. But I'm always willing to try again!
ReplyDeleteMy teaser is from a memoir called "Replacement Child." Title says the premise -- the author ( Judy Mandel) is "born in fire," as her parents "replace" a child lost when a plane crashes into their home (and badly burns another sister). It goes back in time with her parents as they meet and marry, and follows through the aftermath of the tragedy. You know, as horrific as what happens is, the book does point out that life is still worth living, and that there is recovery after losing a child. And the cover is fabulous.
From page 134:
"Music had also become a way for me to infiltrate the male dominated garage band scene. There was only room for one girl singer in a band, even if I was grudgingly included to sing the Jefferson Airplane or Janis Joplin tunes they wanted to play. I liked being the only girl in the room at rehearsals."
Excellent teaser! I have heard these books are must read.
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser
Hope this finds you well. Sorry for being MIA of late :)
Ooh, a little raciness going on. I have wondered about this author. I may have to pick one of these books up next time I am out at the bookstore.
ReplyDeleteA mystery. Sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: Teaser</a
Heh! Truly is a teaser. Makes me wonder if that was the true explanation for his dashing naked.
ReplyDeleteHere is my teaser, if you should be interested: http://www.wellreadreviews.com/blog/?p=979

I have enjoyed this series of books. Great post! Here is mine.
ReplyDeleteHa! That sounds kinda funny!
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny teaser! It's kind of unexpected.
ReplyDeleteI went to see Alexander McCall Smith at a presentation he gave a couple of years ago and he's equally funny in person - a great storyteller.
I have not read this series either.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! Is the guy with the warm hand the same one that died??

ReplyDeleteHee hee. There have been lots of teasers that have made me chuckle today and for some reason that last sentence did.

ReplyDeleteI've read many of the #1 Ladies' Detective Agency books but haven't tried any of his other books. I've been curious about them though. I look forward to reading your thoughts on The Sunday Philosophy Club.
