In the late 1970s my parents had friends we’d visit for dinner now and then. I’ve lost their names and how the families knew each other, all of it, but I remember their house was full of books, and while the adults talked I’d sit and read, as happy as a kid could be. We moved from Indiana to Missouri in 1979 and saw them only once or twice after that.
