And it'll be so exciting to be living a story instead of reading it--only when you're _living_ a story you can't peek over to the back to see how it's all coming out.

I shan't like that part.
Still, it may be all the more exciting, after all, _not_ to know what's coming.
I like love stories the best.

Father's got--oh, lots of books in the library, and I've read stacks of them, even some of the stupid old histories and biographies.

I had to read them when there wasn't anything else to read.

But there weren't many love stories.
