OK so I decided to re-read Bleak House after seeing one of Raych’s posts about re-reading it. She made me laugh so I decided what the hell. I haven’t read it in more than 30 years, I only barely remember it, I should read it again. Others should read it with me. It will be fun.
I reserved it from the library and started reading it during jury duty. Bad decision since I was already pretty grouchy about the jury duty.
I read a few more pages and then just put it down in favor of all the other books. Then, it had to go back to the library and I found I was sad about that.
So, I downloaded a free copy to my Kindle and I’ve been reading a page or two here or there… only to find that I had downloaded only a PARTIAL copy of the fucking thing. I wasn’t even all the way through the chapter telling us about The Ghost Walk when the book ended. WTF.
So I went and found another free copy and installed that on my Kindle. Kind of depressing though because not only is Bleak House very bleak, though it does have it’s good moments, I’m only on page 98 of … 788. Talk about bleak. I might finish this by Christmas.
