"Bath Time for Books, Oh!" is an essay by Karl Jones.
Bath Time for Books, Oh!
I like to read in the bathtub.
Sure does short the lifespan of a paperback novel.
But worth it. Throwing out four or five second-hand paperbacks is a small price to pay.
I can — talking party tricks, here — recite the opening several pages of Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash" from memory.
Not that I went to many parties in the first place. And now Covid. And moving from the city to a small town at the edge of the north woods.
Still— I developed "esprit up to here" from reading and bathing.
