Teaser Tuesday: The Secret to Lying

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by MizB of Should be Reading. Anyone can play along. Just do the following:

-Grab your current read.
-Open to a random page.
-Share two teaser sentences from somewhere on that page.
-Don't include spoilers.
-Share the title and author.


My Tuesday read is The Secret to Lying by Todd Mitchell. Todd is a fairly awesome dude. He teaching writing at Colorado State, and I was lucky enough to take a class taught by him last Sunday. It was am-a-zing. I'm still trying to digest everything.

Teaser sentences:

Dickie and I got the Steves back for elfing us by breaking into their room and attaching a car battery to their toilet--one terminal to the water and one to some copper threads we'd taped across the floor. The Steves were such slobs, all we had to do was shove the batter being the toilet and throw a towel over it to make things look normal.

Okay...I want to read more because I want to know what happens when you put a car battery on the back of the toilet. It sounds a bit messy! I'm a fellow campaigner stopping by...I look forward to getting to know you!

Fellow campaigner. Love the look of your blog.

I have my head in Lady Chatterley's Lover.
"I think I wanted you to jeer at me," she said. "It drives me back to my real sanity."
