Teaser Tuesdays: That's Quite the Circumstance!

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!
I found this book on one of the shelves as I was browsing my new local library. (How fun is that? Getting acquainted with a new library?) And even though I had a different book at the top of my TBR pile, I decided to bump this one to the top because (1) it looked like a lot of fun, and (2) it looked like it would be a fairly quick read. So, what teasers does it have to offer? How about the following:


Why Did It Have to be Snakes?: From Science to the Supernatural, the Many Mysteries of Indiana Jones
by Lois H. Gresh and Robert Weinberg
(Hoboken: John Wiley & Sons, 2008)
Trade Paperback, 264 Pages, Nonfiction
ISBN: 9780470225561, US$15.95

My Teaser: “The party of Adolf Hitler, the leader of 1930s Germany, stood for bigotry, intolerance, and racial hatred, all beliefs that were anathema to patriotic Americas, yet strangely enough, Indy was once associated with the hated symbol of the Nazi party, the swastika. Not by choice but by circumstance” (126).
