7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: How can I help you? Yeah, hey, Tabitha, I have

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: I have a complaint and I'd like to speak to

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: somebody in charge. Well, you can't speak to me about it, okay,

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: So this is the library? Correct? Correct? Right? And I

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: was in there earlier this morning and I could not

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: believe my eyes. What did you see? Well? I saw

13
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: signs and posters with your new slogan hooked on books. Yeah,

14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: that's um a funny slogan. We have to get kids

15
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: and to the engaged in reading. Interesting, interesting choice of words.

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: You think hooked on books is a funny slogan. Huh yeah,

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: yeah I do. I'll tell you who it's not funny too,

18
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: people like me, a recovering book addict hooked on books.

19
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't know why you're laughing at this. Okay,

20
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: I guess I've just never heard of the term recovering

21
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: book at it. Really, you work at the library and

22
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: I've never heard that term. No, I haven't. Well, it

23
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: was about six years ago when I first got hooked

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: on books. I started reading Great Gatsby and then The

25
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: Adventures The Fuck Fan, and the next thing you know,

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: I wasn't coming home at night, didn't see my family

27
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: for weeks because I just had to read everything. If

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: you say so, well, I do say so. And you

29
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: want to know why that was my life for so long.

30
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't know why, sir, because I was hooked on books. Well,

31
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: do you had an unhealthy relationship with reading? I don't know.

32
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: Oh that's an understatement. Unhealthy isn't even the word was worse.

33
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: I dove into the cooking section like I was a

34
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: hungry little caterpillar. I mean, I wasn't even interested in

35
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: making those meals. I just read the recipes. That's how

36
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: bad it got. There are worse addictions than the romance novels.

37
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 1: That was when I really started to hit bottom. I mean,

38
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: that's not a bad thing to really love reading. Too

39
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: many times my family had to put out a missing

40
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: person's report because I was at a grocery store in

41
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: the book section for days. That's where they have all

42
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: the good romance novels. Well, now we know, and yet,

43
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: now you know your family loves you. No, no, I

44
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: don't know them anymore. They don't talk to me anymore.

45
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: Because I was hooked on books, I started holding books

46
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: in the corner of the library and making my own sections.

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: I collected two hundred and twenty four books of animals

48
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: that I'd like to wrestle. Does that sound normal to you? This,

49
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: the whole conversation doesn't sound normal to me exactly, because

50
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: I was like, you guys are promoting hooked on books.

51
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: It's just the term. It's not a lifestyle. Oh sure, okay,

52
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they say that to heroin addicts too.

53
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 1: I hardly think you could compare reading books to heroin, sir,

54
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: Books are healthy for you. Okay, Well, you can't say

55
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: books are healthy for you until you've been like me.

56
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: You read one book, then you read another, and the

57
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: next thing you know, you're begging a stranger on the

58
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: street to take off his shirt so you can read

59
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: the tag and all kinds of bargaining happens at that point. Well, sir,

60
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: it sounds like your issue is booked and knowing that

61
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: you should pop out to just stay away from the library.

62
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: My issue is what I said, book. Oh, I've got

63
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: the itch. I suggest that you see someone for professional help.

64
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: Hear what you're saying. So you're saying I should come

65
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: down there and give you twenty bucks and you'll let

66
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: me read a book. No, fifty bucks. I'll take all

67
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: the money out of my life saves if you just

68
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: give me one book. No, I'll just need a book.

69
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: So I really have to go. This is getting uncomfortable.

70
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: I do whatever I have to do. If I could

71
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: just get a book from you, I got the shakes, Okay, okay,

72
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: well i'll let you know it's a prank phone call

73
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: then okay, but oh your co worker James set you up.

74
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: Oh it's a joke. Oh my god, I am going

75
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: to kill them. He's dead. Oh my god. I didn't

76
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: believe it. You guys work at the library. If you don't,

77
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: If you don't kill James, the books will. I did

78
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: not get off the bone with you. Oh so uncomfortable,

79
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: got off the phone. If you're just giving me a book,

80
00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: one book,
