Letters From a Friend

Twilight,

Just under the wire, but I'm back. I'll definitely be going to bed after this letter; end of the weekend's getting me down or something. As for those books, you can go ahead and read those Jane Austens and A Wrinkle in Time if you like. If I renew them close to when they're due, you should be able to have them for about two months, and considering all you've read since we've met, I doubt you'll need that much time. However, now that I'm thinking about it, maybe Spike would dig A Wrinkle in Time. He can read that while you read the Austens. It would sure save me another trip to the library for him.

Although, now that I'm thinking about it while my eyes are fighting to stay half-open, are there any other topics you'd like to know about? I'd hate to think that books are the only things we have between us. Not that I don't enjoy talking to you about them, but, I mean you know

I'm sorry, I'm practically writing word salad at this point. I'll write back when I've had some sleep. Sorry for an awkward ending.

Sincerely,
Toby

P.S. Spike, give Wrinkle in Time a shot. I think that may be the "happy medium" you're looking for.

I'm feeling hungry for a bit of word salad.

As are mine.

Ooh, the Happy Medium in a Wrinkle in Time! Was that intentional?

Mmm. Book recommendations for kids are difficult to come by.

Time warp trio?

Magic tree house?

9249915 I literally wrote that at first just as a common expression for Toby to use, but when I remembered about the character from the book (I only saw the movie, but still), I decided to make a subtle jab at the reference, which is why I put quote marks on both sides of it.

How about J.R.R Tolkien for Twilight and J.K. Rowling for Spike? Their books are one of the few ones I've read, and I feel it fits them. After they're done reading, they can exchange.

Oh, and if they need a book which has friendship as one of its main themes, why not go back to our childhood and dig out Charlotte's Web?

Awesome!

[Spider-Mane Noir]

Personally I'd recommend The Hobbit for Spike.

Not sure a book where the main character is under threat of slaughter to be made into food for humans would be the best thing. Particularly since Fern seems to be able to understand the "talking" animals but no one else can.

Yup Toby needs some damn rest at this point.
