Theme Thursday: The Eyes Have It


Hosted by Reading Between the Pages

Rules
*A theme will be posted each week on Thursday
*Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from your current book that features the theme
*Post it and don't forget to mention the author and title of the book

This week's theme is related to the eye--any action you can do with the eye: See, Wink, Roll, Vision, etc.

Here's mine from The First Men in the Moon by H. G. Wells (p. 128):

I looked up, and stopped in mid-sentence. The darkness had given place to that bluish light again. The door was opening, several noiseless Selenites were coming into the chamber. I became quite still staring at their grotesque faces.

    @srivalli: Yes, they are the moon people. I have no idea why they're called Selenites.

    This is surely a must read book for me and your snippets only make me want to get to it quicker. PS: I stole some challenge ideas from you :) Of course I just stop and check you out when I want to participate in challenges... so much more easier to take this short cut :)

    Thanks!!!

    Btw, always wondered how many hours a week do you manage to read?

    @Kavyen: Not nearly enough right now. According to Goodreads, I'm six books behind.... On a good week I manage 6-7 books.

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!
