Typecast Me Not

A two-day trip — cor­rec­tion, a two day busi­ness trip — work­ing all day, return­ing exhausted to hotel rooms, call­ing wife, crash­ing. Yet inflated esti­mates of read­ing speed are made and books are packed — two, three, four of them. Rolled eyes are ignored. On return, three are returned back to the to-read shelf, and rolled eyes are ignored once again.

The Tele­graph cat­e­go­rizes the way peo­ple pack books, and they missed me, just like they missed Jessa Crispin (at book­slut).

I got to con­fess though, I’m a teensy bit proud that they didn’t pigeon­hole me. Before you go around call­ing me des­per­ate, remem­ber this: teensy means really small.
