Teaser Tuesday

(Link in blogroll)

The rules are:

• Grab your current read.
• Let the book fall 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 and author 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!

"As it happened, Carol's beeps turned out to be perplexingly varied. Her reveries about what she liked included visiting old churches, giving presents, making things neat, eating in a fish restaurant set up by a friend in Margate, buying old chairs and reading blogs about economics on the Internet." --The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, by Alain de Botton

You'll have to read the book, or at least that chapter, to figure out why Carol is beeping...
