MizB at Should Be Reading hosts this cool weekly event.
Teaser Tuesdays asks you to:
--Grab your current read
--Let the book open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
--You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from… that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
I'm reading "Always Looking Up" by Michael J. Fox. I don't have two random sentences for you but three "hit me profoundly" sentences. The book has a Prologue, four parts, and an Epilogue. I'm not even through the first part and have three sentences for you.
"Ironic that in order to do my life's work, I had to quit my day job." - pg 29
"Little did I know that within that French fortnight, I would be visited by a muse, and in truly Homeric fashion, it would take the form of a lone rider descending from the mountaintop-sort of." - pg 31
"Sometimes, when you're alone, minutes pass before you even realize you're crying." - pg 45
I'm going to need to take this one in small chunks, I've already gone through several tissues.

Wow. These are powerful teasers. Especially the last one. Thanks!
Wow, these teasers really strike a chord. I hope you're enjoying the read. Thank you for sharing. =)
Great 'teasers'. I've seen the book, but wasn't sure I could enjoy it with out getting too depressed. I'm guessing by your tissue count that I'd have a hard time.
I'm sure you'll need a whole box of tissues!
