Teaser Tuesdays (Mar 6)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, 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 (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teasers this week are:

The atomic bomb! Obeying an impulse as instinctive as that of a man who grabs the nearest object to break his fall, Kuleshov tore the plug from the switchboard, disconnecting the two telephones – and only then realizing that, contrary to instructions, he had not intercepted the caller’s number.

From page 8 of In The First Circle by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. I’m just starting this and intend to take it on holiday with me next week when we take a week away for March break. I’ve had it for a while, so it’s time I got on with reading it.
