&quot;I&rsquo;ve got a whole stack of books in my cart. Most of them are advance copies. I know a place where they get thrown out.&quot;
&ldquo;How many books have you read?&rdquo;
&ldquo;Thousands.&rdquo;
&ldquo;So why are you homeless?&rdquo;
&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve tried to work a job a bunch of times. But then I get sad, and then I get high, and things fall apart.&rdquo;
