So, the book that I'm reading right now

is called The Giver,

and that is actually, interestingly,

it's a book written for young adults,

and I found that I'm finding it a very profound book

that's discussing, you know, the future

and what different options are.

And what inspires me the most about this book

is that you can write your own ending to it

because the ending is so ambiguous,

and my son and I have been talking

about lots of different endings to that story,

which I think is a very creative process

of dreaming about the future.
