Teaser Tuesday: 09-30-08 : Theft


I Should Be Reading - Miz B - hosts this weekly event. We throw out a couple of sentences from our current read to entice you to read the book!


From Theft by Peter Carey:

I don't know if my story is grand enough to be a tragedy, although a lot of shitty stuff did happen. It is certainly a love story but that did not begin until midway through the shitty stuff, by which time I had not only lost my eight-year-old son, but also my house and studio in Sydney where I had once been about as famous as a painter could expect in his own backyard. -- Page 3.

That's a pretty damn good passage. I might have to see about adding this book to the stack.
