0:07.1	well I finished two books this week and I think that maybe I'm kind of like a book sky now.
0:16.6	You've been publicly anti books for so long. That is a while. No. What I have said is that
0:22.9	some games that are extremely boring are books level boring. Right. That's what I
0:27.3	just said. It's funny. That sounds to me. It is a character. You know, I can't involve. We love to see. Does that character of a name change? Is that a named character? What does that care
0:38.0	company? No, no, no, but but I just feel like maybe I like books, you know, like they're easy to carry around. I got so much in them. There's so many
