For those who have read IF ON A WINTER'S NIGHT, A TRAVELER, a
(disgusting) story:
I was reading it and loving it. Couldn't wait to find time to read
another section throughout the day. Was reading a good chunk while
tending the personal business in the bathroom. Finished. Time to
wipe. Placed the paperback on the sink/countertop next to the toilet
itself, took care of hygiene. Turned slightly as I stood (before
flushing, of course), and -- KK-SLOSHHHHH! Into the poopy drink went
the book.
Unreadable.
Had to buy another copy to continue on . . . and I always wondered if
the story would have been the same had I kept reading the original
paperback copy . . . .
