Teaser Tuesday is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.
- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us two (2) ‘teaser’ sentences from that page.
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
I’ve just finished Nocturnes by Kazuo Ishiguro. This is a book of five short stories in which
Ishiguro explores ideas of love, music and the passing of time. I enjoyed some of them more than others; some of them just seem to stop rather than ending, leaving me wanting more. There’s nothing dramatic here, rather they are gentle stories with a touch of nostalgia and a sense of loss for what has gone or what could have been.
My teaser is from the title story Nocturne:
Maybe Lindy’s right. Maybe like she says, I need some perspective, and life really is much bigger than loving a person. Maybe this really is a turning point for me, and the big league’s waiting. (page 185)
BooksPlease 
Your sentenes are thought provoking but also part philosophy. Very interesting.

Sounds like the writer is doing some good self-reflection. :) I’ve not heard of this book before, but think I’ll check it out. One of my girlfriend’s names is Lindy which, I think, is fairly uncommon.

I started reading “The Remains of the Day” recently and so far I’m quite enjoying it. I’m looking forward to reading “Nocturnes” as well; it seems like just the book for me. It’s good to hear that you liked some of the stories, though I understand what you mean by some being better than others (always a downside with books comprised of stories…). Nice quote.
