‘The answers are in those books,’ he tells her as
she throws another novel over his head. ‘Listen, take
it one word at a time, they’re bound to appear.’ Picking up
the innocent book, she tosses it back on her bed and looks at
him, ‘how can I find the answers without knowing any of the
questions?’ Taking out several more books from her mom’s
university backpack, he places them by her hands and
smiles, ‘youβll know what to ask, just like she did.’

This made me smile. There was the vibe of something arcane in the way the guy seemed to be talking in riddles (zen koan, even). But there was also something street-sage and new-age-pedestrian with how sure he was. And of course, the love for books does need to be passes down the generations. π
