[Wander nods vigorously as he peruses the line of books.] That way, anyone can read it whenever they want. [There's a good book--no, that's a murder mystery.] I mean, everyone can tell a story, but these really long ones? It's easy to keep 'em in books. [Puts back a horror collection.] I been to a couple of libraries in my life, those have all kinds of books to read and borrow. [Science fiction. Better, but judging by how few people here have been to other planets, Wander assumes that this book will involve lots of explanations.] Plus, readin' is useful for pretty much anythin' else.
[Oh, what's this? Wander removes a thick, dusty book from the shelf. He coughs as a cloud flies into his noses, and when he can breath again:] Moby Dick. Huh. It's about a giant whale, judgin' by the cover. That sound good to you?
