Tax Day in the US and Teaser Tuesday!! What a combination.

My Teaser:

"I do work for them," he said...."They pay me to have interesting ideas, while at the same time recognizing that I could never function in an orthodox corporate environment."  Page 65

This is from Blue Remembered Earth by Alastair Reynolds.  The book was published in 2012.  I purchased it several months ago and it has been sitting on my TBR pile.  I think it will be there for awhile longer just because it is 562 pages long.  It is also book one in a trilogy.  Have any of you read it?  If so let me know if I need to move it up to the top of my pile.

My teaser today is from Healthy Joints for Life by Doctor Richard Diana.  He has an interesting approach to joint pain:

"Loss of range of motion leads to pain, which leads to immobility, which leads to more loss of range of motion.  This is a predictable and debilitating path for those suffering with joint pain."  57% on my Kindle.

From Goodreads:

"No surgery. No medication. No drastic measures. Just healthy joints—for life!

In this groundbreaking book, leading orthopedic surgeon and former NFL player Richard Diana, M.D., applies his unique experience and training to tackle join pain. Based on cutting-edge research that has clarified the crucial role of a molecule known as NFkB in regulating inflammation, Dr. Diana's proven eight-week program teaches you to harness the power of this research to reduce inflammation, relieve pain and rejuvenate your joints."

My teaser this week is from Wolf in Shadow by John Lambshead.  I got this book at the World Science Fiction Convention in September and have been reading it a little at a time since then.  

Here is my teaser:

"Would you like to come out with me? asked the student.

"A tempting offer, but I'd better refuse" replied Rihian.  "My doctor says that I shouldn't go out with boys until he finds out what's causing the rash."   page 49.
