But all you do is sit and stare at 38 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: the pages without moving. How can they take you anywhere? 39 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: Well, they don't take you there, really, but they can 40 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: take your mind anywhere with the help of your imagination. 41 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: Books can show you how things were in the past 42 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: or even in the future. They can open a window 43 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: into a new world, or even take you inside someone 44 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: else's mind. 45 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: Wow, how can reading take you inside somebody else's mind? 46 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: Well, Cowie, because you learn so much about the author 47 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: and what she or he thinks just by their book.
