My "reading too quickly misread" for the day:

We received tearsheets of a review of one of our books about the nomination of Supreme Court justices.

The headline: "A Short History of 'Borking.'" What caused me to do a double-take was that at first I thought it said "A Short History of Boinking." I couldn't imagine how any of the books that we've published could fit that headline.

Though I'm sure such a book would be interesting.

So named for Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork whose contentious confirmation hearing led to him withdrawing from consideration.

I've been saying this since November: "Dude, we're totally borked."
