The setting is what really draws my attention in this beginning. He's on a helicopter, he's drunk, and he's on his way to a tent where he will sleep in a cot. Definitely not your typical setting."You've had quite a night, haven't you, Professor Lourds?"
Buckled into the passenger seat of the Bell helicopter, Thomas Lourds smiled. He was pleasantly tipsy and looking forward to his tent, and the cot within it even more.
So how does your current read begin, and what are your thoughts so far? Please leave the link to your specific post, not just to the front page of your blog.
This sounds like an intriguing book....thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd like to be tipsy in a helicopter. My stomach turns at the thought!
ReplyDeleteI have a two-fer posted today. 2 memoirs.
Very intriguing. I do wonder if he makes it to the cot or will the flight get sidetracked?
ReplyDeleteSounds like an exciting read!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I want to know what happens! Just my kind of beginning.
