Teaser Tuesday

If you would like to participate in Teaser Tuesday get yourself over to Purple Booker to read the rules and join in.

The idea is to share two random sentences from your current read.  Don't include spoilers! Don't give away too much information!

My current read is This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald.  My sentences come from page 20:

"After reproving him for avoiding her, she took him for a long tete-a-tete in the moonlight. He could not reconcile himself to her beauty, that was mother to his own, the exquisite neck and shoulders, the grace of a fortunate woman of thirty."

I seem to be in the mood to read older fiction right now by the likes of  Fitzgerald and Hemingway -- does anybody else still read these authors?
