<\/a>Sadly, it’s not uncommon for me to accidentally re-read a book I’ve already read if I buy it again, but this book<\/a> presents a special case. I did not even choose to read it. Well, not exactly. <\/p>\nAs is my wont, I keep a book of short pieces, columns, and whatnot at the bed side so I can read in 600- or 1000-word increments until I am ready to sleep. It’s also not uncommon for me to bring a book up, brush my teeth, and determine that I am too tired to read after all, so a book will sit on the headboard until the next such time I want to read in bed, which can be a week or two later.<\/p>\n
So, anyway, one night, the book was there, I was there, so I started reading it. Little did I know that it was my beautiful wife who brought it up so she could read it<\/em>, but in the time between when she brought it up and I discovered it, the headboard book shuffling that occurs during dusting had put it onto my<\/em> stack of books. So this might be the very first time that I’ve re-read a book accidentally in this fashion, although now that my wife knows I can fall for this sort of trickery, I might start finding other books she<\/em> wants me to read on the headboard.<\/p>\n
