Was persuaded by @batsy to hop into the buddy read for “The Once and Future King,” a book that‘s been on my TBR for a while. And thus begins this cautionary tale and a word of advice: Don‘t wait too long to read the books you buy. Because that portable, pocket-sized book with the tiny print you bought when you were younger will not be your friend if you wait until you are middle-aged to attempt to read it. #TheMoreYouKnow #YoureWelcome

Amiable @batsy I read chapter 1 and now I'm in. Darn it. 😃 (edited) 13mo
KateReadsYA This post is glorious 🤣🤣🤣 I need to read this one as well. 13mo
batsy @Amiable Yay! It worked its wily magic on me, too. Lol 13mo
Lcsmcat Yes! My copy is mass market paperback size and not only is the print a challenge, so is holding it open! 13mo
marleed Oh I so relate! Funny pic! 13mo
RaeLovesToRead Haha, oh dear! 😅😅 13mo
ravenlee This happened to me with my copies-I‘ve-had-forever-and-will-finally-read of Robinson Crusoe and The House of the Seven Gables. I suffered through the former, but I gave up on the latter and got a library copy. 13mo
quietjenn Yep! I saw your conversation with @batsy and found myself wondering if my copy was still around, but it is definitely a mass market with wee print, and I'm not sure I could do that for 600+ pages these days. 13mo
Amiable @quietjenn I may follow @ravenlee ‘s lead and head for the library. I already checked Libby and there‘s no digital version available there. 😖 13mo
Ruthiella I think its often less the font size for me and more the cheap paper and narrow margins. I‘ve had old paperbacks literally fall apart as I read them. 😆😭 13mo
LeahBergen 😂😂 I feel you! 13mo
dabbe 🤣🤣🤣 There is a larger print copy, but the book itself weighs about 5 pounds! 13mo
SamAnne 😂😂😂 13mo
CarolynM 🤣 13mo
BarbaraJean 😂😂 *Going to my shelves now to immediately prioritize all pocket paperbacks before my eyes get any worse* 13mo
Bluebird 😂😂😂😂 i found this same problem with my copy. I‘m now reading it via audiobook! I‘m afraid to look at some of the other books that have been languishing on my TBR shelves. 😬 13mo
