Teaser Tuesday Valentine's Day: A Simple Machine, Like a Lever



While I answered her, though, I was wondering if I would still love Marie if she owned a car.  I wanted to think so, but I wasn't sure. 
-- A Simple Machine, Like the Lever by Evan P. Schneider, published by the super nifty Propeller Books.

This is one of the many passages in this sometimes endearing story of under-achieving man in love with his bike that make me think, "Only in Portland!"

No wonder my single girlfriends get so frustrated by the men here in Rose City!



Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by Should Be Reading, where you can find the official rules for this weekly event.

  3. Sandy: It is a very PNW story! Thanks for visiting.

    Beth: I think GH may be more appropriate for Valentine's Day!
