The Teaser Tuesday rules are:
- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us two (2) ‘œteaser’ 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 ‘œteaser‘ from ‘¦ that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’™ve given!
- Please avoid spoilers!
Today’s teaser is from page 73 of White Noise by Don DeLillo, which I am about to start reading.
They picked up pebbles where he’d walked and took them home as souvenirs. Crowds came to hear him speak, crowds erotically charged, the masses he once called his only bride.
The blurb on the back cover informs me that this book is an extraorinarily funny book on a serious subject. It’s the story of Jack Gladney and his wife Babette who are both afraid of death. Jack is the head of Hitler studies at the College-on-the Hill. His colleague Murray runs seminars on car crashes and he and Jack ponder the instances of celebrity death from Elvis to Marilyn to Hitler.

It always makes me smile to think how many people collect pebbles as momentos. Good teaser, has me wondering who the ‘speaker’ is.

I once had to dump out pebbles (well, rocks really) from my suitcase in an airport because I was taking way too many home with me and my suitcase was too heavy!
Hitler studies, eh? Sounds disturbing.
My TT post is here.
