At times, this can be remarkably specific - the excellent 'I Won' is perhaps the only song to ever build itself around flatshare politics - but it also captures the sensation of a life spent in preparation for a rather daunting sense of possibility. 'Hideous Towns' best expresses the intimidation this entails ("never went to Rome / I took the first bus home" etc), but it rears its head repeatedly, Wheeler at one point taking solace in the thought that "there's no harm in voicing your doubts" and, on 'Can't Be Sure', reflecting with perhaps an overly optimistic confidence that absolute conviction in what lies ahead is bound to emerge.

Martha, VIC, Australia: Moonlight Publishing. p.271. Reading, Writing and Arithmetic was released in January 1990 and became a commercial success, reaching number4 on the UK charts [7] and peaking at number39 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. [9] It went on to sell over half a million copies worldwide. [4] Critical reception was very positive; [6] Rolling Stone writer Ira Robbins referred to it as "an alluring slice of lighter-than-air guitar pop, a collection of uncommonly good songs graced by Harriet Wheeler's wondrous singing." [10] The single " Here's Where the Story Ends" was particularly successful in the USA due to radio play and MTV rotation. [6] The Sundays devoted nearly a year to an "exhausting" promotional tour, [4] which encompassed America, Europe, and Japan. [6] The tour was considered successful, [6] although it was not without some mishaps; a London show had to be rescheduled due to Wheeler losing her voice and the group experienced some amusement when a Dallas, Texas, show was advertised with the slogan "See The Sundays on Sunday with ice-cream sundaes".
