A: Sitting unopened, unread in my bag.
So apologies to Emma and the gang, but I do have some real plans to become well acquainted with all things Bovary soon. Very soon.
In the meantime though, I’ve been reading I Was Told There’d Be Cake by Sloane Crosley. The good news is: This book is really funny (Laugh out loud funny, even). The bad news: I started reading it on a plane.
Generally, I like to become well acquainted with someone before introducing them to my somewhat jarring, high-pitched laughter. I feel like with a little context my laughter can be kind of charming in its abrasive, hyena-like uniqueness. Unfortunately for me and all of other passengers in row 3, when you are introduced to my laugh first, it’s…well it’s just annoying.
Oh well, the book is a kick.
Perhaps Madame Bovary would have been a better choice for the plane. I will have to remember that for my next trip.
Well, until I have actually started reading the book we’re supposed to be discussing I will stop wasting your time.
Until then,
Justin
