Teaser Tuesday with Jules Verne

MizB hosts a pretty good book event called Teaser Tuesday. We simply choose a couple of sentences from our current read and tease you all into reading the book yourself! Let's hope this works, then . . . 

You really should pick up Jules Verne's "A Journey to the Centre of the Earth" and read it. Here's a teaser: 

"When I at last began to resign myself to the fact that no further aid was to be expected from man, and knowing that I was utterly powerless to do anything for my own salvation, I kneeled with earnest fervor and asked assistance from heaven."

Me with the subject of this week's Teaser Tuesday

A great teaser, don't you think? I'm relishing each page of this adventure. Click here to read my latest review of the book. 

Have I persuaded you to read it?!

Transporter

Recently during a stay at a hotel I came across the movie entitled "Transporter 2" on the movie channel.

Unfortunately we had to check-out at the same time. So much was I enjoying Transporter 2 that we went to a shopping mall immediately to find the DVD. At the third shop we found it, went home, and watched both Transporter 1 and 2.

I absolutely loved it! Transporter is all about a guy who transports packages or people for large sums of money. He gets into all sorts of trouble and in these action-packed movies, he fights his way out of trouble, from beginning to end.

There is a lot of shooting, explosions and fight scenes. This is the type of movie I love. I could watch movies all day like this.

It's very similar to the type of books I like to read. All-action page turners like Dan Brown's works.

If you've not seen it yet, go and watch Transporter 1 and Transporter 2 . . . Now I'm off to find Transporter 3!
