Several weeks ago I began reading A Princess of Mars, hoping to have it finished before the movie John Carter was released. I set it aside to read Timeless by Gail Carriger, and now have returned to this classic sci-fi/fantasy novel - and I'm really enjoying the "old-school" style of writing!The Tease:
"Thus was the edifice of my brief dream of happiness dashed, broken, to the ground of reality. The woman for whom I had offered my life, and from whose lips I had so recently heard a declaration of love for me, had lightly forgotten my very existence and smilingly given herself to the son of her people's most hated enemy."
-A Princess of Mars, by Edgar Rice Burroughs
What's your Tease?
Interesting title of this book but the teaser doesn't grab me.
