This week, my teaser is from Year Zero by Rob Reid, the same book I chose for the Did I Notice Your Book? Blogfest, back in October. Finally got a copy from my library. It's different from what I had expected from the blurb, but not in a negative way, so it's quite funny.
"The Townshend Line is the notional surface of a spherical region centered around the planet Earth," the androgynous, expressionless voice said. "It has a one-hundred-forty-four-light-year radius, and is the boundary of the most powerful force field ever created. It was built in 1978 to keep several trillion fans of The Who from storming the planet in hopes of attending one of the band's shows."-p. 71

Sounds rather interesting indeed. Off and writing at my feed, so not much time to read.
Terrific teaser! You always find some great lines.
I'm not reading a whole lot for pleasure. Do blogs count?
I have heard good things about this one. Mine is from Naomi Novik's latest Temeraire novel: http://eyesandearsblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/teaser-tuesday.html
Sounds funny.

Moody Writing
I just started reading a new Richard Dawkins book on evolution, very good so far. But I don't have it handy at the moment.
Ha, I love it. Here's ours: http://refractedlightreviews.com/?p=11454
I'm impressed. It appears you get more done in one day than I can accomplish in a week (still impressed by how much you were able to write in one day)!
Sleep No More by Greg Iles
When he was home, he walked through the house like a secret stranger,a double agent who believed his own cover.
More frightening, he had the sensation that he was following a trail of bread crumbs laid out by someone four steps ahead of him, someone who was pulling him along by the twin handles of his guilt and regret.
Right now I've started reading Beautiful by Cindy Martinusen-Coloma but I can't really get into it. Anyways, nice teaser Golden Eagle! :)
I'm hoping to find this book soon. It is high on my to read list.
Right now I am reading The Mark of Athena, The Dark Deeps. Mothstorm. and Wildwood. I'm a jumpy reader.
Having seen The Who several times, I can understand why they'd need that line. Though in the early days, it could have been to protect fans from flying bits of guitars and drums....
I just finished the first book in the Fablehaven series. Gainly some familiarity with some MG pieces for a project I have in mind.
That teaser was pretty funny.
What a great teaser! It made me laugh out loud.

Definitely sounds like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe. Sounds like a lot of fun!
Sounds like a book my husband would like better than i would. I love the cover though.
That picture with the earphones on reminds me of two things:
1) Alienware computers
2) Napster
It's like an almagamation of Napster Alienware.
ok, now I have to read that!!!!
LOL! That's a great teaser, especially the part about The Who.
Pat: I'm kind of in the same state. Writing a lot, reading little.

Sure. :)
Alan: I'm really enjoying it so far.
Mooderino: I think it is.

Hmpotts724: Glad you enjoyed it!
Anthony: Probably not . . . I feel like I hardly get anything done some days. :P
Gail: Interesting teaser! Very creepy.
Shelley: I've never heard of the book. Hope it gets better.
Thank you!
Jack: It's really good so far. :)
I read Wildwood earlier this year. What do you think of it?
JeffO: I've never actually listened to The Who or know much about their concerts; flying pieces of guitars and drums got involved?
Angela: Was it a good book? I've seen the Fablehaven books in several places but haven't read them.
Jai: I'm glad you liked it!
Mywithershins: Resembles the series quite a lot. :)
Petty Witter: I really like the cover as well!

Running4him: If you do find a copy, I hope you enjoy it!
Cherie: Thank you!
Great Teaser. Guess that was the cover you posted here as well. Very intriguing!

Sounds interesting and intriguing.
I'm reading too many books and too fast to write any one here!
Nas
Cleemckenzie: Glad you liked it! :)
Tammy: Good to hear you're enjoying your current read.
Nas: I love it when I'm blazing through books like that. Reading a lot of fiction is fun.
That's a different kind of book! And funny :)
I'm reading Sunny Days for Sam by Jennifer Shirk. I like it :)
Happy Weekend!
Carol: Yup, it is. :)
Glad to hear it. Jennifer Shirk is a popular author--I've never read anything of hers.
Happy Weekend to you, too!
