… and trying not to drop the book. My copy of Pride and Prejudice is not only covered in pencil graffiti from GCSE English Lit; it bulges at one corner where I dropped it in the bath the very first time I read it.

It’s the only book I’ve ever actually dropped in the water though, and I didn’t even get it all wet… and in around 20 years of reading in the bath, that’s quite an impressive total. (I don’t count the single loose page of Guards! Guards! that fell in once.)

I was reading Jane Austen again today - Sense and Sensibility - and now I have the urge to watch the Emma Thompson/Kate Winslet/Hugh Grant film. I also want to re-watch 13 Going on 30 for some reason, but I’ll have to settle for Jennifer Garner in Daredevil instead, which is on later.
