Own books . [laughter] im going to tickle you with this. It was the first book that i ever read. It was called chip the dam builder. [laughter] it was about a beaver. It was really what started me on my journey of reading. I mean, this beaver was so wise, and he made the birchbark seemed so tasty i wanted to eat one myself. But it really sort of got my imagination stimulated, and i read every animal book in the Public Library and that would to the downtown branch. I read all those animal books. Then i started reading about plants and the mr. Reading about rocks because we didnt have a railroad because we lived along the railroad tracks. Presume to identify any rock, how was formed home how a was formed. One day the teacher came in, held at the big rock and sickeningly to do with this is. I never raised my hand.

Is, is actually cracking and changing. And that could be for good or for bad, but it does have a lot of effect on Attention Span and what we decide to read and consume, and, you know, how we find out about stories.
