important?Absolutely.

Contemporary history is very, very important to me, and just ultimately classics like "The Great Gatsby," which is one of my favorite books.

So "The Great Gatsby" and just that story about New York is one that's really important to me, one of my favorite classic books.

But also, um, just seeing how historical texts, including things like slavery, have been banned within Texas public schools and all across the country.

So one of my particularly favorite books is by the name of "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes," which involves a girl after post-World War II and of course bombings that occurred in Japan, and it connects the, an old Japanese fable about folding 1,000 paper cranes.
