He presents the reader with information and trusts the reader to do their job with it; he's subtle, and fun, and quietly wise, and also I love hearing him say the word "book," which has nothing to do with his sentences but sort of does because you have to have an appreciation for the way words sound in order to write well.
OH YES I love how he writes. Like the words themselves need to sound beautiful, like it was meant to be read aloud. And I tried to read this once and stopped, mainly because I didn't care much about Bod, but now I'm going to give it another shot.
And oh, yes, about Of Mice and Men.
And my friend said I would hate Life of Pi. Apparently she was right. It sounds AWFUL.
