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!)
Last week I was sent a copy of Funereal by the publisher and I’m excited to be finally reading it! This novel by Giacomo Lee sounds like an interesting read and I love the setting in South Korea… It reminds me that I really should read more books set in Asia. I’ve only just started reading this ARC after finishing Ruin And Rising earlier this day, but so far it’s good!
My teaser (5%):
“Moon still in the sky, sunlight spread slowly across Seoul through a front of haze and dust. Dressed in her regular interview suit, piebald and matched to dark heels, Soobin Shin surveyed the mountain-cradled Nowon district from the window of her seventh floor apartment.”
What are you reading right now?
It sounds intense and very interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book set in South Korea.

I haven’t read many books set in Asia either; the last one I remember was last year… I’m going to try and read more of them in the future.

I’ve read about three set in Japan, but that’s pretty much it for me. I’ve read some set in India, but they were by British authors, so it didn’t really seem “Asian” if that makes any sense.

I know what you mean; it’s hard to believe an European or American author can properly portray a ‘foreign’ culture that well. I’ve read a few set in Japan and India as well, but not nearly enough of them. Who knows, maybe later this year…

Thanks! I’ve recently changed the format a bit and added a description of the book… I thought it would make it easier to understand what the story is about. 😉
