"Isn't
it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?" Mo
had said..."As if something were left between the pages every time you
read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the
book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger
self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed
flower...both strange and familiar.”

Yes, reading books from a younger era is so fascinating. What is the flower that was pressed, I wonder?
