Why Did It Take Me So Long To Read "How To Be A Woman?"

How long did it take me to read "How To Be A Woman" by Caitlin Moran? I don't even know. Far, far longer than it should have given how amusing and easy to read it was. What was my problem?

I was reading it as an eBook.

This is not to say that I don't like reading eBooks. Not at all. But it's easy to put eBooks out of my mind. Traditional books are art objects to me, pretty, distracting things. I greedily snatch them up as I'm walking through libraries, bookstores, and used book sales.

My Kindle is a marvelous...ah...marvel. I love loading it up and knowing that there are all kinds of treasures in there waiting for me. But then I figure, Well, yeah, I've got them in there. They're mine now. They'll wait for me.
So I pick up another of those pretty things and read that.

And that's the only reason "How To Be A Woman" kept being put aside.
