I knew books could see people around them, they ground their tiny teeth, tried to rattle like windows, stories to tell.

About This Quote

I knew books could see people around them, they ground their tiny teeth, tried to rattle like windows, stories to tell. I knew I was not alone. I would read for hours and hours and hours. When I was younger, my sister and I would read books aloud to one another and would even get our mom and dad into the habit of reading together.

We were just little kids and we did not realize that we were reading people’s thoughts. When we told the stories we finally realized what we had been doing.
