Another thought...

Today after class, Thylias said something very interesting that reminded me of something I had seen a few years ago. She said that physical books are technically edible, but that she wouldn't want to eat one.

When I think more about Postsecret, I realize that these secrets are, in fact, "books" themselves, because they clearly tell a story. Sometimes I read them just for the "story" element that they have, and to imagine who wrote the secret and why. For this reason, one of my favorite Postsecrets of all time is:
