Random. Re: Readers.

I have just observed, in the book I am reading for work, so that I can discuss it in depth with a student, something I never thought I’d see: Toothmarks.

Sometimes, if my hands are both occupied, I will hold a book in my teeth while I juggle the coffee/bus pass/purse/whatever combination that renders me temporarily incapable of holding a book in my hands.

I didn’t think anyone else did, but there it is, a little pressed seal of readership: A smaller bite than mine, from smaller teeth in a smaller face. Clearly, I am not alone in the little dilemma of not having enough hands to read and still conduct my life.

I am obscurely comforted.
