Reading a sentence and understanding it were the same thing; as with the crooking of a finger, nothing lay between them. There was no gap during which the symbols were unraveled.” WorldWritingMindMeanStoriesFeelingsAbleFormReadingWishProcessUnderstandingWonderReaderLatePagesDown AndLaysFingersObviousSentencesSymbolsToo LateGapsCommonplaceWish YouThoughts And FeelingsTelepathy Author:Ian Mcewan

I touched the pages her hands touched, I pressed them to my lips, the soft thick old paper, yellow now, fragile as skin.

I could hear her voice rising from the pages. The cover curled outward like sails.” FirstsArtBookHandsNightReadingGivenVoiceLinesFlowerPaperPagesSkinsMachinesFingersLipsSmellStuckSmokeBeachNosesRisingTouchedSilverFragileYellowThickCigaretteSailCurvesBindingIncenseEspressoIndigoWhiplash Author:Janet Fitch
“She smiled, pulling the photo a little closer, and I wondered if I should ask her, too, the question for my project, get her definition. But as she ran a finger slowly across the faces, identifying each one, it occurred to me that maybe this was her answer. All those names, strung together like beads on a chain. Coming together, splitting apart, but still and always, a family.
