Teaser Tuesdays: Ain't That the Truth...

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:



  • 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!
So, this week’s teaser comes from yet another of Quirk’s brilliant mash-ups:

Android Karenina
by Leo Tolstoy and Ben H. Winters
translated by Constance Garnett and The II/Englishrenderer/94
illustrated by Eugene Smith
(Philadelphia: Quirk Books, 2010)
Trade Paperback, 541 Pages, Fiction
ISBN: 9781594744600, US$12.95

MY TEASER: “Functioning robots are all alike; every malfunctioning robot malfunctions in its own way. Everything was in confusion in the Oblonskys’ house” (14).

Haha I don't think this is my kind of book, but I really love the teaser. My tease is at The Crowded Leaf.

Interesting teaser! I have never tried one of these mash-up books. I hope you enjoy it. My teaser is from Naamah's Curse by Jacqueline Carey.
