going to talk about our favorite books. Rock, what is
your favorite book and why? Rock? My favorite book is
(00:44):
The Hobbit. This book by Jay Tolkien took me to
the world of fantasy. When I was reading, I felt
like I was standing in front of the dragon with
Bilbo Baggins. Another funny story, I missed my stop while
reading this book on the bus. Tell me Sean, Sean,
ha ha, I missed the bus. My favorite is the
Sherlock Holmes series by Arthur Conan Doyle. I wanted to

be a detective like Holmes. Once I stayed up all
night reading this book and my mother came and said,
are you homes or not? Now go to sleep. Rock.
Ha ha, Sean Holmes, do you still carry a magnifying
glass around? Sean? Ha ha? Now only glasses, so Rock,
What do you do when you read a book? Do
(01:28):
you sit down with tea or coffee or do you
sit down with snacks? Rock? I sit down with coffee
and chips, But once a piece of chip fell on
the page of the book and there is still a
stain on that page. What do you do, Sean? I
am tea and biscuits, But when I read a piece
of biscuit on the table, it feels like I'm looking
(01:49):
for Sherlock's clues. Okay, now a quick segment questions from
the audience. First question, ray Ria asked, I look at
the cover and review, and sometimes I go to the
bookstore and pick up a random one. I once bought
a science fiction book like this. It's still my favorite, you, Sean. Sean,

have you ever laughed while reading a book? Sean rif Yes,
Once I was reading a comedy book. And people thought
I was crazy when I laughed in the metro. Rock,
do you have any funny stories? Rock? I was reading
a funny fantasy book in a cafe and the coffee
(02:31):
went up my nose. Sean, Haha, coffee ninja. Okay. Now
a mini game, it's called book Panic. I'll give you
a scenario. Imagine you're a book character in twenty twenty five.
