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!
Head on over to MizB’s to share your teasers and to check out what others are teasing about.
My teaser is from the short story I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. The book is actually an assembly of short stories by the author. I have actually finished the I Am Legend story but since I have not finished the entire collection, this is technically still a current read. I did cheat though on the number of sentences – rebel that I am!
More often, though, he had tried to adjust to what he sincerely believed was the inevitable – that he was actually the only one left in the world. At least in as much of the world as he could ever hope to know.
Thinking about it, he almost forgot that nightfall was approaching.
So, what is your teaser?
I loved this movie. Haven’t had a chance to read the book yet.
I read the short story after I saw the movie and I liked the ending of the story better. It should have been the ending of the movie. Great teaser! Here’s mine.
The story and the movie were so different I keep trying to think about them as completely separate entities. It wouldn’t be fair to compare.
This sounds good – I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I really want to and now I want to read this too!
The entire set of short stories is wonderful. I would recommend this book.
I’ve never been tempted to see the movie, but I’m now tempted to read the story.

If I had to advise someone between the movie and the book, the book would win. Then again, doesn’t the book win usually?
Oh that sounds so very lonely. Mine is here: http://rundpinne.blogspot.com/2009/10/nine-dragons-teaser-tuesdays.html

She patted his thigh. His tone was one of cautious optimism as if he’d wanted to ask if she’d try to get away but had been too afraid to do so.
Wow, that would be a difficult truth to adjust to! I didn’t know the movie was based on a book.
It is very different from the book though.
I have wanted to read this for a while. I will have to purchase it! On my TBR pile!

Well I’m a moron because I forgot to say what book I was reading which would be Don’t Tell by Karen Rose. This concludes this message from the girl who lost yet another brain cell.
I don’t think that I have viewed the movie yet, but I know I haven’t read the book. This teaser shows me that the character shows a lot of introspection which is right up my alley!

Great teaser! I’ll be interested to read your review – - I haven’t read this one but love Matheson’s “Bid Time Return” (or “Somewhere in Time”).
Thanks for stopping by my blog this week.
