To be honest, and this is terrible to admit, I hardly read any teen mystery books at all.

It is almost as thoughsomething else is breathingquite close by, invisibly.The mystery of the names…Albizzia. Gleditsia.Aucuba japonica. AndI am listening, seeing. Seeing, like someone twice alive.

You know I hate to chase. I'm only here to talk, but if you run, I'll have to chase and we both know where that usually ends up.

Be sure then to read no mean books. Shun the spawn of the press on the gossip of the hour. Do not read what you shall learn, without asking, in the street and the train.
