Teaser Tuesdays (started on Should Be Reading) asks you to:
Grab your current read (or a book on your shelf that you've read or been wanting to read). Let the book fall open to a random page. Share two (or a few) teaser sentences from that page. Don't forget to share the title and author of the book in case someone is teased into reading. Please avoid spoilers!
I've posted my teaser below. Post yours in the comment section if you'd like to share as well!

If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason--for then we would know the mind of God.
