Theme Thursday: Beauty



Rules:
*A theme will be posted each week (on Thursday)
*Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from the current book you're reading that features the theme
*Post it and don't forget to mention the author and title of the book
*Event is open for the whole week
*Link back to Reading Between the Pages

This week's theme is Beauty [Beauty-Related] and here is mine from How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe by Charles Yu (p. 27):

I will say, though, that it's hard to stay in shape in a recreational time travel device. I eat a lot of ramen. There isn't enough room to do push-ups. Sometimes I pick up Ed and curl him a few times.


Trust me, that's about as beauty-related as it gets. The book is pretty dense with science fictional techno-babble. Male beauty...it's all about the muscles and staying in shape.

    This made me giggle, especially the part about "picking up Ed and curling him."
    Thanks for stopping by this morning. I noticed in your profile that you are in Bloomington. My husband lived there during his childhood and he has fond memories of it. Have a great day!

    Oh, I struggled with this theme as well. One would have thought beauty related snippets would have been easy..:) But, well.. we surely have some interesting reads

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
