I really haven't-- even though I took AP English courses,
I was kind of a bad student.
So I really, I would just read to get along to get by.
So I wasn't really invested in literature
and/or language on a really deep level.
But I was reading throughout high school.
I was reading like Star Trek novels, comic books,
that kind of stuff.
More from the comics.
More, yeah.
So I was engaged.
And I still remember even as a boy,
I always had this kind of engagement with language.
As a boy, as a young boy, I remember
sitting at the breakfast table and rereading
the back of the cereal boxes again and again and again.
I mean, how many times is Captain Crunch
is going to do something surprising?
It's the same thing, again and again.
I remember reading those boxes, again and again.
So I always-- maybe it's an innate sense or fascination,
obsession with language?
But that obsession wasn't nurtured until college
like that.
