Teaser Tuesday -- World Made by Hand & The Witch of Hebron by James Howard Kunstler

I first heard James Howard Kunstler's name when someone sent me a link to his TED video several years ago.  World by Hand & The Witch of Hebron are the first two novels in what may end up being a four book series and the first books I've read by Kunstler. 


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

From World Made by Hand:

"You hear the one about the farmer was milking and a fly went in one of the cow's ear 'n out th' udder?"  was a typical Minorism, as the other men called his constant banter.  Joseph and Elam carried rifles, and Seth wore a sword, a saber, some kind of museum piece he had come across in their journeys.   (p.124)

From The Witch of Hebron:

The doctor knocked back what was left in his glass and gave the dog a long look.  "My boy loved that dog very much and I did, too." (p. 22)
