"It's warm in a way only your father's body is warm & his shirt smells the way only your own father's can. It's a thing impossible to explain or recapture, because it's more than a smell, it's more than the sum of Castile soap & farm sweat & dreams & endeavour, it's more than Old Spice aftershave or Lux shampoo, more than any combination of anything you can find in the press in his bathroom. It's in the heat & living of him. It goes out of his clothes in three days. That's a thing I learned."

"The edition I have is a Penguin paperback. It's been well thumbed, at least triple-read, there's that smell the fat orange-spine Penguins get when their pages have yellowed and the book bulges, basically the smell of complex humanity, sort of sweat & salt & endeavour. Like all the fat orange Penguins, it gets fatter with reading which it should because in a way, the more you read it the bigger your own experience of the world gets, the fatter your soul. Try it, you'll see."
