So back in the day For a few years I just kinda wandered. All over the world. doing part-time jobs, sleeping on friends' couches, I didn't know what I was looking for. didn't have a lot of money for lunch or the train fare or whatever, but still. I always allowed myself one splurge. Bo. I love books, I do, the smell, the bindings, the stories, the knowledge. I purchased Buddhist texts in Korea, books on flower arranging, stacks, stacks of classic science fiction and fantasy. I bought books in Braille and I can see just fine. I just like touching them. New books, old books, whole collections from a Japanese flea market. A secret, forbidden book chronicling the political history of Malaysia, collected notes of Charles Darwin's slave journals in Taiwan.

I find an agent Chinese volume detailing the acupuncture meridians of the body in extraordinary detail. It was last printed over a hundred years ago. And because I don't have a home or whatever. I pack these treasures away. I sent 'em to my mama's place in Grand Rapids, Michigan for safekeeping. Hundreds of books. each one with their own story of how they were bought, bartered, bet, or traded for, And they're packed away. As gifts. То на одермі, з ававін. For I am content, happy, gray-haired, wandering through a library of my own creation. Reading sometimes by myself, sometimes out loud to my loved ones, and I see this place. I see this clearly as I see my own hands. I know that someday I want my children.
Clem Washington 3:13
My children's children, their children in turn to know they can walk through many worlds.

How did Austin’s dad’s love of birds and his backyard aviary shape the family’s routine?

Clem Washington 3:19
They can press through time and space if they learn to love these books. As much as I do. And one day I'm sitting eating an apple, minding my own business when I get a call from my mama. She's a deeply religious woman. Fine. Me and you ladies, we got to divine it. And the church ladies I hear in the background clapping and praying. Divine it. Just right. He says the devil. CODEMIR! Up in my house.
Burt Sharsteen 3:50
Sure.
Clem Washington 3:51
The devil, huh? Really? Just like. The devil in my home, I provide my clean kitchen floor! We followed his clothing hooves right through the house over the rug, down the stairs, to see from whist the evil sprang. Mm-hmm. And do you know what we discover right on top of your pile of papers, mama? Mother. Satanic versus Satanic verses. How you gonna bring the verses of the devil into my Christian home? Ma um Satanic verses is is not what you think it is. It's a book by Simon Rusty, and he wrote I know what the verses are saying now, boy. And your satanic verses are gonna burn just like the rest of these books. Mama, mama, mama, leave your books alone. You can have satanic verses. Take it. I don't even like that book, but just leave everything else alone.
Clem Washington 4:47
It's got the same tank, it's gonna burn the same holy fire. I just thought I'd let you know. Mama, leave my books alone. Goodbye, son. Mother! Mano! Mama! Matter! Call back. I call back again and again and then I'm it's like I'm standing. I'm sitting in the middle of this vision of my beautiful library. As it burst into flame. Feel the heat on my skin. The smoke burns my eyes. I don't call her anymore. I don't wonder. If she did it, I could almost hear her Satan laughing. Then After a good long while I start laughing too.
