wrong but your book is a Triumph what do you owe it success to low expectation really well uh well I mean really how does it feel to dominate a dying medium you know well that's a really interesting point you you bring up because it is it is tough in the in today's world to get people to read because people are just not readers anymore so I was very gratified that this did so well it was number one on the best SLE list a couple of weeks ago staying on there people for years have want thank you thank you I got a job tomorrow Mom oh I'm sorry yeah what you say now this is really interesting
