Waterstones are, of course, doing what they do best - 3 for 2 on selected books. So when I managed to pick up The Bell Jar, Tortilla Flat and Saturday for a paltry £15.98 today, Nat was a smiley girl.
Back at work, co-worker picks up bag and goes through the books, commenting "Wow, this is pretty highbrow stuff", to which I answer, "Yeah, my boyfriend thinks so too, he reads books like 'THE HOLLOW CHOCOLATE BUNNIES OF THE APOCOLYPSE'."
Co-worker then proceeds to pull said book out of his book-rack.
I, in turn, simultaneously burst into flames while despairing for the future of mankind.
