They yell. "Why haven't you read me yet?" "Why did you buy me? For the haptic quality?" "What, are you deaf, dumb AND blind?" I put them into vitrines to muffle the sound. <strong>jb says</strong>: I used to live with three haptic people in the same house when I was a student. A sculptor, we called her a sculptress back then; a potter; and a blind guy . . . we'd call him visually impaired now. Weird household, somebody always had their hands on me and it wasn't always the hands I was dreaming about. My books don’t talk to me.
They yell.
