From Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, by Fannie Flagg, page 61:
"She knew she couldn't go through any more days waiting for test results, and decided that she really did not want to know if anything was wrong, and preferred to drop dead in her tracks, never knowing."
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!
Great teaser! I loved that movie, though I never read the book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting.
I have this book and it is currently on my VERY LONG tbr list. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! I've heard of that one - will have to see if my library has it. Thanks for stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteGood teaser I have watched the movie it's one of my favorites..This is a great gift idea for my Mother thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteI CAN RELATE TO THAT FEELING. AFTER MANY TESTS AND WAITING FOR RESULTS, ONE JUST GETS TIRED OF THE WHOLE MERRY-GO-ROUND AND WANTS TO SIMPLY LIVE AND ENJOY LIFE. GREAT QUOTE!

I loved the film but I hadn't realised it had been adapted from a book. Another one for the list!
ReplyDeleteYou know what's funny? I've never seen the movie all the way through! I'm not sure how much I'd be enjoying the book if I had, since it jumps around in time and setting so much.
