This book made me cry in the ending pages, and while I don't let myself cry often, it's usually a sign of a pretty good book.

 To borrow Granny’s description, a bookstore is a place densely populated with tens of thousands of authors, dead or living, residing side by side. But books are quiet. They remain dead silent until somebody flips open a page. Only then do they spill out their stories, calmly and thoroughly, just enough at a time for me to handle.

Beautifully written. Using alexithymia to explore the complexities of human emotions made the book so much more reflective and, at points, emotional.
