"My dear Charles, do not eat me!"

So I was walking down through the university after tutoring, reading The Grand Sophy. A guy and girl walked past me.

GUY: Good book?
AIMEE: Yes, very.
GIRL: What're you reading?
AIMEE: *a little embarrassed, shows cover*
GIRL: Oh my goodness, I love Georgette Heyer! Have you read much of her?
AIMEE: A few, yes. I love her.
GIRL: Read These Old

Can I just say? I would hate for you to get in arrears.

Hahaha. I have many V of D icons now.

He thought I was reading "George Heyer".

(He was also super-hot. Um. I am totally not shallow.)

I'm at Vic, teacher's college this year.

"Yeah, I do maths."

Brilliant repartee.

It was kind of great. He was all, "Ah, George Heyer. He good?"

I love it when random people are nice...makes me feel there's something good and decent in this world after all!

The most amazing thing that an absolute stranger did for me actually originated from Livejournal. I was a member of a Terry Pratchett group, and a girl there posted that she bought a couple of his books, but found that she already had one of those, so offered to give it free (shipment paid!) to one lucky person! I was in London then, she was in the US, so I replied that I'd love to have it, but probably wouldn't because of the postage. She emailed me asking for my address, and a couple of days later, lo and behold, I got the book!

I later went through her blog, and found that she had asked for the addresses of a couple of people, and have always wondered whether she actually bought more books to give to all. Needless to say, I treasure that book a hell lot.
