one of the things that i loved about the l.a. times festival of books way before i was our book editor, when i was driving and showing up early in the morning is that we have all of those panels with four authors who are novelists or authors who are people that don t get to see each other. there is a moment they have saying something they are coming up with at that instant and it s that exchange of ideas that can only happen in the moment. watch our live coverage of los angeles times festival of books all weekend april 22nd and 23rd on c-span 2. this weekend on q and a. i really learned the value and discourse. so the way i interact with people who i don t necessarily agree with has completely changed. high school students attending the senate youth program where they shared their thoughts about government and politics. i can safely say at the end of this week i m sure i m uncertain of what i believe and i think that s a good thing. hard work and fair chance
