you were always bookish weren't you despite everything that was going on the books were always a thing for you yeah always and I was always writing actually so today I went back through I have an old folder and I'd started like stories years ago and I was like oh my god that's actually pretty good I was quite proud of myself always bookish always interested in how to tell a story

Not necessarily just in the written form, but also verbally.

So, yeah, I've always been really bookish.

Yeah.

The story is that I, Wuthering Heights and I loved Shakespeare.

My English teacher was phenomenal and he made a Shakespeare so accessible and I remember getting it.

I could understand the words because it feels like another language.

I loved The Merchant of Venice and I remember reading this book and realizing that Shylock was the victim.

in the story and no one could see it in my class and i was like the injustice oh like i'm standing behind the bike shed smoking my bents and hedges you can't say things like to the gang do you think that shylock was the victim in the merchant of venice and why couldn't you say those things because i was terminally cool terminally cool

There was no way that the joyrider was going to want to go out with me if he thought that I was a bookish girl.

And whether that's my judgment or the truth, I think it's a mixture of both.

So my love of books was my secret.

Like a lot of kids like secretly take drugs or secretly smoke.

I secretly read.

Wuthering Heights.

Yeah, I was under the blankets like reading.

And like my best friend, like she would slag me.

She was like, will you stop reading?

Oh yeah.

It is actually that.
