It sometimes entered Mr. Pontellier’s mind to wonder if his wife were not growing a little unbalanced mentally.  He could see plainly that she was not herself.  That is, he could not see that she was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world.

The Awakening by Kate Chopin, Chapter XIX

Just finished this – review tomorrow. Visit MizB for more teasers.

Emily was bored and sad and struggling not to break down.  There was only one thing left to do-what she always did when she got depressed.

Bake cookies.

The words were too small for me to read, and I hadn’t brought by reading glasses.  I squinted, trying to hide this fact from Jack, but, of course, he caught on right away.

“I keep forgetting that you’re older than me, Mellie.  Here, let me read them out loud.”

“We can hide in there,” he said, pointing to the sarcophagus.

“Are you mad?” Esme stopped and stared at him.  “We cannot hide in a coffin.”

Mr. Bintz was about forty years old, short and thin, intense, with the smugness that Yankees can’t help but exude when they venture into decaying towns of the Deep South.

How could anyone live like this? their smirks seemed to ask.

When I met Car, I was surprised to discover that while he would never be described as movie star handsome, he was not bad looking.  In person he was more moody than ‘mad.’ reminding me somewhat of Jane Eyre‘s Mr. Rochester with a grease gun.

Death Takes the Cake by Melinda Wells, Chapter 14

Visit MizB for more teasers.  So what are you reading this week?
