Book Group

The last Thursday of every month was Book Group,
when the books would gather together to discuss Brian.

β€œIt’s no fun here any more,” remarked Bleak House, glumly.β€¨β€œWhy doesn’t he read us?” whined the Grapes of Wrath. β€œIt makes me so angry!” β€¨β€œI’m sure he only bought me so he can show me off to his friends,”
complained Ulysses, in a stream of self-consciousness.

β€œI bet he can’t even remember my name, The Idiot,”
muttered a voice from the Russian literature section.β€¨β€œThat’s because he avoids you like The Plague,” said another.β€¨β€œC’est vrai!” came a cry. β€œIt is like I do not exist.”

β€œLet’s not give up on him yet.” It was Brave New World.
After some Persuasion, they agreed to give him one last chance.β€¨β€œBe quiet!” cried Waiting for Godot with Great Expectations.β€¨β€œHere he comes now!”

Brian entered the room, with his phone.
He sat down and watched some videos of baby pandas falling over.
After an hour or so, he started googling cats dressed as celebrities.

On the shelf, the books waited with uncracked spines,
their silence speaking volumes.

I recommend trying to make time for yourself. I had a busy week last week, and on top of world events, I found it difficult to cope. Hope your week goes OK 🀞.
