(Pretty much the only time I do is if I've just started the book and haven't come across any quotes that stand out yet.) Thanks for sharing your teaser; that sounds like a great book!<BR/><BR/>Ladytink, I hardly ever read short stories, but I really enjoyed these. I should be posting my review soon!avisannschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486477882148877317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-39879984386386866082009-03-06T06:42:00.000-05:002009-03-06T06:42:00.000-05:00I haven't read a short story collection by just on...I haven't read a short story collection by just one author in quite awhile.

I've never do...Hey Avis, <BR/>Here's my teaser. I've never done this before so it's kind of an unusual way to look at a book. (I am tempted not to go 'at random')--but this is: <BR/>"Despite the abundance of fruit grown in sub-Saharan Africa, it is impossible in most countries to find any indigenously produced fruit juice. Soft drinks such as Coca-Cola and Fanta, and now the new caffeinated 'energy' drinks made by the same companies, are to be found everywhere. Yet local fruit such as watermelons, mangoes, oranges, guavas, papayas, tamarind and a wide variety of indigenous fruits not known on the world market, can be found rotting in roadside markets because of seasonal surpluses."<BR/>from _Dust_from_our_Eyes_ by Joan Baxter (a book of non-fiction, by a Canadian writer/journalist who has lived in West Africa for the past 20 years...I would call it political and approachable. Angry & passionate & beautiful to read.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475082741857713340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-40314975120311705152009-03-04T14:37:00.000-05:002009-03-04T14:37:00.000-05:00Thanks, all, for your comments.

I love the language in these stories and have already found more quotes I'd like to use in another Teaser Tuesday (though I may be reading something else by then).
