Teaser Tuesday (Oct 9th)

Hi guys and girls, it's Teaser Tuesday again. Hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading, anyone can join in by doing 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 and author too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their To Be Read (TBR) lists if they like your teasers!


Here's my teaser:

"Self-discipline is the most essential factor in the development of personal power, because it enables you to control your appetite and your tendency to spend more than you earn and your habit of 'striking back' at those who offend you and the other destructive habits which cause you to dissipate your energies through non-productive effort that takes on forms too numerous to be catalogued in this lesson."

 Taken from "The Law of Success" by Napoleon Hill. He came out with many cracking sentences like this one. Hope you enjoyed it!

  2. That sure is a long sentence, but it makes a lot of sense. Sounds like a heavy read.
    My teaser is from CONFESSIONS OF A CORPORATE SLUT.

  5. It's not a quote you can read just once! I had to go over it several times before I could take it all in. Nice teaser. :)

    Thanks for stopping by!

  13. Wow, there's a lot of information in that one sentence. I had to re-read it a couple of times and each time I unpacked something new from it. Great!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Happy reading!

  22. Sorry for being late to return your visit, I have been away on holidays!
    I am reasonably self-disciplined, but do need to ensure that I keep myself on track by using tools to ensure my progress.

  25. This book is being sold everywhere with a lie-- that it is written by Sheldon. The author is Tilly Bagshawe. Having said that, it is a decent read, but I was disappointed by the end. It leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth.
