[ the tiny bird peep turns to a startled bird noise instead, and he coughs, surprised, hand to his chest, wings all poofed up. ]
Claude! [ but once the initial surprise wears off, his face goes to full delight. ] I think that may be an understatement. Isn't this wonderful? There are books from more places and times than I think any of us could have ever begun to fathom - I almost don't know where to start.
Irian history. [ he doesn't even hesitate - there's almost a soft trill to the way he says it, like birdsong. ] By far.
But, I know for a fact there won't be much of it here. I'll find what I can, of course! That certainly will not stop me from looking. [ a bit of determination when he says that too, a little roguishness to his own smile. if there are sources for his book here, he's going to find them. ]
Any sort of history would bring me great joy, of course. And political theory - particularly the different sorts other places have, particularly democratic government. And... travelogues have a special place in my heart, as well. And...well, I could go on forever!
If you're feeling overwhelmed then, maybe write down everything you want to read, rank, prioritize, and come up with a plan. I always find myself more relaxed with a plan of attack.

[ fond. ]
But, a wise plan all the same. What about you, my friend? Do you plan to do some light reading, today? I wouldn't mind the company.

I don't know what the day holds, to be honest.

[ it's affectionate though, and he sets his hands on his hips. ]
I suppose I could bore you to sleep with a story, for the best of both worlds.

You don't think I'd be absolutely riveted?

Oh, well. I'm sure you will be. I just didn't think it very prudent to say so if you would prefer the opposite.
