First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros
is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea every Tuesday. To
participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read
based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.
"We were going to dinner. I won't say which restaurant, because next time it might be full of people who've come to see whether we're there. Serge made the reservation. He's always the one who arranges it, the reservation. This particular restaurant is one where you have to call three months in advance - or six, or eight, don't ask me. Personally, I'd never want to know three months in advance where I'm going to eat on any given evening, but apparently some people don't mind."
The Dinner by Herman Koch
"An internationally bestselling phenomenon: the darkly suspenseful, highly
controversial tale of two families struggling to make the hardest decision of
their lives -- all over the course of one meal."
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

The intro does not grab me, but I DO want to read this one so I'd read more for sure:) enjoy and thanks for joining in.
This does grab me. I want to know more.
I can't even fathom planning dinner months in advance--some days have I trouble planning even a few hours ahead, lol. My teaser: The Elegance of the Hedgehog
Amusing teaser, thanks for sharing -- I am intrigued! Here's my TT post!
LOL 3 months in advance is a long time.
Hmmm, not sure about this one, making decisions is a hard one. I'll wait for your review.
I love the sound of this one! Thanks for sharing...and I'm now very curious about what they're discussing over this meal!
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Sometimes the intro isn't as good as the synopsis. This is one I would like to read even if the first paragraph isn't an eye grabber.
I like it...I'd keep reading!
