Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading (via, for me, fellow Australian book reviewer Booklover). To play along: Grab your current read, open to a random page and share a teaser two sentences long from somewhere on that page. No spoilers!
Iain M. Banks. Use of Weapons, pg 77 (of 399 pages).
The day he found the little chair he ignored it, but it was still there when he walked back past that stretch of beach on his return. He went on, and the next day combed in the other direction towards a different flat horizon, and thought the gale the following night would have removed it, but found it there again, the next day, and so took it, and in his shack repaired it with twine and a new leg made from a washed-up branch, and put it by the door of the shack, but never sat in it.
a) Boy, this guy does long sentences
b) So. What’s with the hang-up about little chairs? Maybe we’ll find out in about 300 pages, you think?
