Reading Disappointment

One has to be very careful with one’s reading matter these days. You open a book and it seems perfectly normal. You start reading and it still looks normal. You continue reading and it is still quite normal.

And then, when you are about 25% in, it turns out to be fantasy.

It’s like one has to invest 5 hours into researching every casual read to spare oneself such unfortunate occurrences.

    1. It’s called El Pensionado de Neuwelke and it’s about a boarding school for daughters of aristocrats in Livonia in the early XIXth century. I just wanted to do some light, entertaining reading and forgot to investigate.
