A meme! a meme!

14 April 2010


It’s been a long time since this blog has played along in a meme, but lets hop back on the bandwagon with Teaser… Tuesdays? Hmmm, today’s a Wednesday… Ah well. I’m guessing I’ll usually be late so why not start off as I’ll probably continue :)

So, Teaser Tuesday, from Should be reading

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

This Wednesday mine is:

A Primate's Memoirs - Robert M. Sapolsky - pg.115

During one wave, I suddenly found myself cramped over in front of my tent, stark naked, painful, liquid acidic craps, and, the humiliation of it all, surrounded by six elephants, silent, quizzical, polite, mumuring, almost solicitous, their trunks waving in the air investigating my actions and moans.
