Silence is kind of awkward, don’t you think? he said.Oh. Or not. No. I’m okay with silence. We’re in a library after all. This is the birthplace of silence.The library is the birthplace of silence? David asked.All the words are being used by the books. When I was little, that’s what I used to think. That people were told to be quiet so that all their words didn’t get stolen by the books. I thought books needed words to exist. Well, obviously they do, but I thought they needed spoken words. Yeah … I was always weird.And here I thought libraries were quiet because people were trying to study, David whispered.That might be another explanation.
