Aaaah... Now it makes sense. I was confused... First about what a "reading festival" even would look like, when it's the "book reading" kind of reading, and second... I was confused on "book-people" being like that, didn't fit.

But a music festival, yeah that makes sense.

Single best form of entertainment humans have invented so far.

Like, what do you mean I can get 12 hours of exciting entertainment in my head, almost playing like a movie with my imagination as the director of photography, and I can just borrow this for free? And there are millions of these bundles of paper and ink to choose from?!?

I 100% thought we were literally talking about a festival for reading until this very moment 😆
