you
don't
really
want
to
spend
eighty
or
ninety
dollars
on
just
two
books
after
getting
dinged
for
shipping
and
taxes
,
but
you
feel
the
tug
of
words
unread,
and
the
part
of
your
brain
that
craves
joy
no
matter
the
consequences
tells
you
it's
only
paper
.
paper
to
pay
for
the
paper
you
need
.
that's
how
deep
it
goes
.
maybe
we're
all
just
ink
on
wood
that's
wandered
too
far
from
home
and
lost
its
shape
in
the
wayward
pursuit
of
wonder
.
your
dust
jacket
might
be
long
gone
,
and
your
pages
might
be
jaundiced
and
torn
,
but
all
the
stories
that
have
helped
make
you
are
still
right
there
,
asleep
between
twin
layers
of
pasteboard
wrapped
in
buckram.
