Teaser Tuesday

• Grab your current read.
• Let the book fall open to a random page.
• Share with us two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page.
• 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!
Please avoid spoilers!

Page 67 - There were many things one could buy from these vendors, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Serioja and cried out the names of their products while plodding through the crowds: ice-cream cones, lollipops - which we called Kojak candies after the famous Hollywood detective - and various souvenirs such as combs, huge pens in gaudy colors, and shell-encrusted artifacts. But none of these gave us as much pleasure as the peanuts reserved for the special stores of the nomenklatura, acquired by Serioja after hours of emotional balancing on the rope he manufactured with such artistic deceit each time he needed to conquer another store clerk.
