Opened up The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and discovered that it was in actuality a mis-bound copy of Darwin's Origin of Species.

All righty then.

Well, it certainly could have been much worse. If Can You Forgive Her? had been in there, I'd put my head in a stump grinder.

Now I've got to re-bind the damn thing.

what sort of vile trickery have publishers been up to lately?
i got 90 pages into Against Nature by J-K Huysmans and there were 40 blank pages until page 130-something.
it's a conspiracy, i tell ya.

Maybe it was Nature fighting back.

It's for the best, I suppose. An Austen-loving friend of mine stayed overnight the other day and was looking for some bedtime reading. She spotted Wuthering Heights and informed me that the Brontes suck. So you dodged a bullet there.

Or it could be your stinkin'Austen-lovin' friend has her head clear up heris mistaken.

I believe that's the version of Origin of the Species approved for use in Texas. "No science teacher, I'm not reading Darwin. See, it's Bronte!"
