5/10: abandoning a plan

...to read or listen to all of Angela Thirkell's Barsetshire books.  I so much wanted to love them, and I was excited that they might give me a chance to return to Barsetshire in a new way.  There were funny, smart, and interesting moments in the five I've read or listened to so far, but the misogynistic moments are more frequent and mean than I can take.  It felt freeing to realize that I didn't have to grit my teeth and get through more of them, that the tidiness and convenience of the plan shouldn't outweigh the discomfort of following it to completion.
