there’s something quietly tragic about opening a book and being met not by the author’s voice, but a reader’s anxiety manual.

I didn’t have my own copy of Emma &amp; the only one they had at the bookstore was one of those Penguin Deluxe editions. I should have just bought a copy off of Thriftbooks because what is this disclaimer at the front of the book for illiterate morons?? https://t.co/YE3fifFu63

Haven't read about this book. But definitely I get what you mean by the awkward and quietly tragic moment of a reader's anxiety. 

But at the end, I'll still read the book😄
