Right. Like you can imagine if a high school kid were to say, I actually don't want an internship this summer. I don't want to go to any camps. I don't want to work. I would like to spend my summer reading novels. It would almost land as an act of rebellion, you know, and people might question that. It wouldn't be seen as like an inherently valuable thing. It would make people nervous. Right.

Right. And that might be considered lazy. Like, oh, you're just sitting around reading books all summer.

Right. So, Rose, the argument is that college professors are finding that people are unprepared to read books, and it's probably because they haven't read books in high school. And what I noticed in your reporting was that a lot of people didn't necessarily see the value of reading books. It's not just that they were afraid of them or they didn't have the attention span.

I love that, to prepare to live. So how does a book – how does something like a book – Because it's obvious to me how skills help you live. Like, they help you get a job and then the job pays the salary and then the salary pays the mortgage. But, like, how does a book help you prepare to live?

Right. So it's like you're in that tender moment in your life where you're just starting to realize... Like there's a bigger world outside my family, outside my school. And who am I in that world?
