TEASER TUESDAYS is a weekly book meme originally featured at Should Be Reading. To participate, just open the book you are currently reading to a random page, and choose two ‘teaser’ sentences from somewhere on that page. (no spoilers!)
The book I’m currently reading is The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I just started it yesterday after finishing The Boy In The Striped Pajamas (review coming soon), and I’m about 50 pages into the story. I’m not sure whether to like it or not, and the made-up slang like shuck and shank is actually quite annoying. Anyway, below a quote taken from one of its pages:
“ “Where are we going?” Thomas asked, still feeling the weight of seeing those walls close, thinking about the maze, the confusion, the fear. He hold himself to stop or he’d drive himself crazy. Trying to grasp a sense of normalcy, he made a weak attempt at a joke. “If you’re looking for a goodnight kiss, forget it.” ”
What are you reading right now?
At the moment, I am reading “God’s little soldier” by Kiran Nagarkar. I just started yesterday evening after finishing “The Circle” by Dave Eggers. I don’t know what to think about it yet, until now, I got to know a very strange little boy who’s constantly thinking in extremes.

From what I’ve read at Goodreads, God’s Little Soldier sounds really interesting!

It is. I read more than 200 sites yesterday and it’s all about those great issues in life: love, hate, belief, religion, family and so on. The protagonist is a pretty aggressive and extreme character, always struggling. He thinks he is kind of a prophet and redeemer.
