This is a new meme hosted by kavyen at Reading between Pages.. “Theme Thursdays” will be open from one Thursday to the next and anyone can post it. The rules are simple:
* A theme will be posted each week (on Thursday’s)
* Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from the current book you are reading
* Post it and don’t forget to mention the author and the title of the book
* It is important that the theme is conveyed in the sentence (you don’t necessarily need to have the word)
* Since we may take a few days to finish a book, this event is open for one whole week
This will give us a wonderful opportunity to explore and understand different writing styles and descriptive approaches adopted by authors.
This week’s theme is – Furniture
"The late afternoon sun cast a molten light on the street, laquered the sidewalk, the doors, tables and chairs of the restaurants, the rickety stands of cigarettes, film and books, all in a golden patina, even giving the motionless cyclos and the gaunt faces of the sleeping drivers the bucolic quality found in antique photos."
p69 - The Lotus Eaters by Tatjana Soli
