“Greg told me," said Uncle Hugh, "that that's what you call it. Not a journal. Why The Book of Strangenesses? I like it--but why?"
"Haven't I ever explained? But I suppose I never thought to. It's because I'm always being surprised by strangenesses, by what
happens to me, as if I'm always turning a corner and never can imagine exactly what lies ahead. So strange, Uncle Hugh--everything.
I've always felt I'll never get used to it, that I should be alive and the world the way it is, the things that happen we never could guess.
I've wondered if other people feel this way, but I'd never ask. It's too personal, like asking suddenly if they believe in God. Do you understand?”
