Aug. 15th, 2006 09:32 pmSo, apparently I have issues dealing with change in books. I've been buying Chalet School books cheap for a few months and now I'm finally getting around to reading them. It seems I don't want to read any books past the move away from the Tyrol, because I have apparently decided that the CS books can only be CS books if they're at the Tiernsee, with the san at the Sonnalpe, and with Margia Stevens/Evadne Lannis/Ilonka Barkocz/Elsie Carr* and co as the middles. I can live with the babying and near-deification of the Robin for all that.
It's kind of stupid, because even if I'm reading about the school in England or the school in Switzerland, any time I want I can pick up one of the earlier books and the school will still be at the Tiernsee and the middles will still be the middles, keeping Biddy O'Ryan in the games shed, disgracing themselves at Oberammergau, and getting their heads stuck in chair backs.
It shouldn't matter. I mean, they're books. But then, I get upset over the strangest things.
* Also, Elsie Carr? I'd love for this to be Katy Carr's sister Elsie, but there's a few decades between the two series so probably not. But she could be a niece or something...
