The dangers of ladies reading novels....
I found this newspaper clipping post today from The Mary Sue which made me smile, especially as I'd just read this post by wings128 on how we appreciate our love of reading. I know it's something we all take for granted but seems like it wasn't always so.
This paper clipping was dated 26 August 1858. And yes, looks like reading fiction is responsible for bringing about the destitution of a family. Of course it did! lol Thank God we've come a long way in 150 years.
