I like to read and I don't go to school so I want to learn as much as I can. Back home one of the only things were got to do for fun other than training was reading.
[And it's stupid and pathetic to think of it now. All the things he should know, or should have experienced that he'll never fully understand because they took all those experiences away. It's like he's trying to learn how to have a life.]
Books are kind of like having friends you can always count on.
