''The teenager in the seat beside me scooped up another handful of popcorn and plunged his fingers deep inside his mouth. He stared ahead at the screen, where the toffee-colored breasts of South Pacific maidens were wobbling like jelly freed from its mold.'' From Serpent in Paradise, by DEA BIRKETT (Anchor, $23.95)
''What a strange creature memory is. Half a thing of dreams, half raw pulsing flesh. Half an enemy, half a friend. The enemy lurks like an Iroquois in the forest of the past to ambush the unwary wanderer.'' From Remember the Morning, by THOMAS FLEMING (Forge, $24.95)
