A couple of weeks back I posted about my plans to seduce the proprietress of a new indie bookstore in my town. I had just started reading pic related. Since then, I got sick, which delayed my plans, but allowed me to finish the book. I really enjoyed it, but it took the wind out of my sails with the bookshop affair scheme. Basically a "grass isn't always greener" lesson. Our grand romantic fantasies don't pan out that way in reality. You engage in an affair and quickly find yourself just as bored and annoyed as you were in your loveless marriage. Makes me wonder if I should forego the affair and just skip to the part where I [spoiler alert] eat a bunch of arsenic and die a horrible death.

Maybe. I'll pop into the store this weekend and see if the desire returns.

Now you read Anna Karenina and Swann's Way and get out of this chapter of your life.

For an antidote to this debility, watch Little Shop Around the Corner (1940).
