Let us meet our books for secret trysts in rain drenched cities, on buses in the afternoon, on beaches and in parks, under wisteria trees and waiting outside cinemas. Let us take them to get coffee and visit the sculpture museum. Let us doodle on them in rich colours that match their covers, make improvised bookmarks from postcards. Bring them in and dry them off when they get caught in the rain. Love them for a long time before you mention their name to anyone. Invite them as your plus one to the Introverts Book Club.
