A Silly Disappointment

One of my favorite things about hostels is the book exchange.
Well, not this time…

The Sydney YHA book exchange got the better of me!
There wasn’t much that looked good, but I finally settled on a crime/thriller novel…not my usual read.
I brought it on the boat with me, and it was going well enough…until page 273. On page 273 I realized that the next present page was page 372. There were 100 pages missing! Argh!
I had sped through the begining of the book, as it was a light read by all acounts. And even if it wasn’t my favorite book…I can’t tell you just how annoying it is to be missing 100 pages of a crime novel!
Luckily the Epilogue was there. So, I contented myself with reading the last 2 pages of the actual novel, guesing at how it got to unfolding the way it did, and promptly threw the book in the trash…before it tortured anyone else.
Now I check that all the pages are present and accounted for before I start reading.
Lesson learned….
