It is no wonder that reading as much as I do I might learn a thing or two from the books, but sometimes the things that I do learn from reading can be quite unexepcted and perhaps a bit currious. I have just learned from a book the perfect way in which to cut bread, particuarly a fresh loaf. In the past no matter what type of knife I used or how sharp or new or old it might have been whenever I tried to attempt to slice a loaf of bread I always ended up murduring it in one way or another. Either I would rip and tear the bread, or get uneven slices, or just smash and squish the bread trying to cut it.
Well in this book I am reading, there is this character named Don Lark, and he renovates old houses and then sells them, so he just recently began work on a house when a pair of old laides that lived next to the house he was working on intived him over for super, and he had sliced the fresh baked bread they had made. And he talked about how the best way to slice fresh bread without messing it up, was with a constand steady sawying and genlte downard motion.
So I was slicing some bread today, and the first peice came out like all the others do, when I suddnely thought of the book so I figured what could it hurt? So I began to slice the bread as recomended by Don Lark, and low and behold it worked. I have never cut a more perfect slife fom bread before.

I was going to suggest investing in a serrated bread knife, but their way is cheaper!

Yep, a tried and tested method. My family used to bake our own bread, and in time you learn how not to mess it up.
