Teaser Tuesday (30)
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!
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (p.12)
- Susanna Clarke
"It seemed that it was not only live magicians which Mr Norrell despised. He had taken the measure of all the dead ones too and found them wanting."

Man, he sounds hard to please.

I liked this book a lot as well as the collection of related short stories that came after it. The novel had such great depth. Nice teaser: it aptly describes Mr. Norrell's approach to, well, everything.
