Weekly Reader

No, sorry about that.

It's actually rated number one by Weekly Reader, too.

Yes.

[laughs] Well, you're moving up then.

So I think that that did a lot to spark my imagination.

So when I found books, which was mostly through the Weekly Reader magazine in classrooms, I don't think that exists anymore, but the, I was completely hooked, and my mom would often say that we would need to rent a second apartment to house my growing library.

We never did.

It was a joke, but [laughs] I, it didn't stop me from collecting more books.

Oh, yeah.

I was a part of Weekly Reader.

Mrs. Goldberg, I think her name was.

How old are you? You're my age, right? No, not Goldberg, Ginsburg.

I mean, I probably had every edition of that.

She enrolled me.

She encouraged my mom, I think I was in the third grade, to enroll me into the weekly reader program.

So every week I got a new book.

Now that is support.

1928, the first issue of My Weekly Reader is published, the magazine aimed to help elementary students learn about world events and build a lifelong habit of reading the news.

Now that is support.

1937, The Hobbit is published for the first time.
