Here’s how the Tuesday Teaser works: Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page. Share with us two (2) sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. You also need to share the title of the book you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given! If you have your own blog, post it there and leave a link or just leave the teaser in the comment section.
Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell from page 211
But then, as it happens, from miles out, the captain sees the lights of Guam. So he relaxes.
How funny that I opened to a page with Guam as an example. One more reminder of the sun and fun I’m missing so much right now.
Back to the book ~Outliers refers to men and women who do things that are out of the ordinary. I’m only a couple of chapters into it but I’m enjoying it so far. The book is his theory as to why some people succeed significantly more than others. He has some very interesting thoughts on why people are more successful than others.
What are you reading these days?

“When You Are Engulfed in Flames,” by David Sedaris
” I said “d’accord” to the waiter and received a pig’s nose standing erect on a bed of tender greens. I said it to a woman in a department store and walked away drenched in cologne. Everyday was an adventure.”

I just started a new book, “The Necklace: Thirteen Women and the Experiment That Transformed Their Lives”, by Cheryl Jarvis. But I left it at work. I hate when I do that.
