This week my teaser is from My Antonia by Willa Cather:
She was standing opposite me and shouting something in bohemian. I whirled round, and there, on one of those dry gravel beds, was the biggest snake I had ever seen.
pg. 25
I haven't read My Antonia but I have seen a couple of movies based on Willa Cather's books. Sounds good!

Oh! I need to read this book again; had forgotten how marvelous it was . . .
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I've tried to read Willa Cather several times, but her books seem so depressing - I've never been able to finish any of them. Still, that's a great teaser - makes me want to read more! Here's mine.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this book! Great teaser! Talk about a heart attack or what, hey?
ReplyDeleteJo-Jo, I also wanted to personally thank you for being such a great supporter on my blog and stopping by and commenting! It means so much to me, so THANK YOU!

Such a great teaser. Hope you are enjoying this book.
ReplyDeleteNever read this, but I remember examples of it were used in a "how to write a term paper" I had used many, many, moons ago.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser and nice to see we are both into classic reads this week! I especially like "shouting something in bohemian."

ReplyDeleteOH COME ON! I was all excited because My Antonia is in my TBR pile for next month...or then one after that, and then I read this! I don't do snakes. No seriously, just reading that I had to put my feet on the coffee table because if they are on the floor something my get them. Something that starts with an S. Ok page 25, I will note that and just skip that page. Thanks for the warning.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I remember that scene from the book. Such beautiful writing.
ReplyDeleteI have this book on my shelf. Look forward to seeing what you think.
