Teaser Tuesdays: Virgin Gingelly

Posted on the 25 March 2014 by Cheekymeeky

For this week’s teaser, I am quoting an excerpt from Virgin Gingelly by V.Sanjay Kumar. In this excerpt, the protagonist is reading the following passage out loud from a book by Jeanette Winterson.

Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate.

It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it. Those who do not do it, think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting, a sister of the trophy cabinet, bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind.

~ Virgin Gingelly by V.Sanjay Kumar

Whoa, I never thought that I could be perceived by non-book collectors as someone with a weak mind :D .

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!
