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

KateReadsYA This post is glorious 🤣🤣🤣 I need to read this one as well. 2y
batsy @Amiable Yay! It worked its wily magic on me, too. Lol 2y
Lcsmcat Yes! My copy is mass market paperback size and not only is the print a challenge, so is holding it open! 2y
marleed Oh I so relate! Funny pic! 2y
RaeLovesToRead Haha, oh dear! 😅😅 2y
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. 2y
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. 2y
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. 😖 2y
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. 😆😭 2y
LeahBergen 😂😂 I feel you! 2y
dabbe 🤣🤣🤣 There is a larger print copy, but the book itself weighs about 5 pounds! 2y
SamAnne 😂😂😂 2y
CarolynM 🤣 2y
BarbaraJean 😂😂 *Going to my shelves now to immediately prioritize all pocket paperbacks before my eyes get any worse* 2y
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. 😬 2y
