Thoughts on the writing life…

A serious question

Posted on October 30, 2013 by Richard Bowker

Is it wrong to be reading Pride and Prejudice during game six of the World Series?

Even World Series baseball has a lot of downtime . . .

  The Bruins lost, but I think I’ll get over it.

    Clearly you weren’t watching in 1986. But thanks for the good vibes!

    No problem, I was probably watching the Avalanche (Nordiques) get their butts kicked.

It’s wrong, wrong, wrong. You should be checking your book sales instead, like I am.

Hmm…as I write this, my wife is simultaneously reading a book on her tablet, playing a game on facebook and brushing the dog. I have trouble typing with two hands at the same time. I applaud your efforts to uphold our gender’s ability to compete in the multitasking arena.

Haha. Not at all. Peter Sagal recently wrote about live-tweeting Emma during some important nation-wide thing (:

I seem to remember a story of your lovely bride reading “War and Peace” while you were sitting in the bleachers at Fenway.

It’s never wrong to be reading Pride and Prejudice;. When the last baseball has rolled into the final gutter of sports history, reading Pride and Prejudice will remain as utterly right as cucumber sandwiches and addictive black tea.
