362 | a silly anecdote

I mentioned in my last entry that I’m reading The Late Lord Byron. I only ever read from my phone/ereader during my commutes/lunch breaks (mostly because I do Not want to be juggling a physical book while on the go), and the Byron book is something I’m reading physically, so I needed another thing to read as well. So this morning, I ended up starting another nonfiction read—not history this time, but something that falls into what I consider the “nature/animals” category—in this case, about modern ecology, nature, and the environment.

…only a few pages in, that book mentioned Lord Byron. I just had to laugh; apparently, I can’t escape him!

(For further context: this is not the first, "Unexpectedly, Lord Byron!" moment I've had this year. I've been haunted by him since at least April. Even on my vacation a few weeks back, I kept running into him... and no, I did not go to England, lol.)
