Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. The rules are these:
- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
- You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
- Please avoid spoilers!
This week, my teaser sentences come from Solaris, by Stanislaw Lem:
I summoned up all my remaining strength, straining every nerve, and waited for death. I went on waiting. . . I seemed to be growing smaller, and the invisible sky, horizonless, the formless immensity of space, without clouds, without stars, receded, extended and grew bigger all round me. [p. 90; note: the ellipsis in the second sentence is the author's]
Wow...this sounds desolate and depressing. Very good teaser...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletethat's a good one. Never heard of it, I need to look again at some SF (nice blogs too!)
