Which best describes Marcus' tone in this excerpt from Little Brother? The deal with my parents was that I'd eat breakfast with them every morning and talk about the projects I was doing.

My dad brought it down, and I flipped through it. There were passages marked up with pen, dog-eared pages, notes in the margin. My dad had really loved this book.
