I would pick something out that was appropriate for them to read during the break, and then I would ask them about it. I’ve got to come up with a really good one this year. I stopped a couple of years ago because I felt like they weren’t going to read it, and they’re all preoccupied on their [phones] so it’s almost like you have to email them the book or make it an eBook where they can read it on their iPad. But I was really fortunate last year with [Katie Lou Samuelson] and [Napheesa Collier]. Those guys always had books, and I’d always ask what they were reading. I’ve got to go back and get [the team] a book I think will be appropriate for them. I get a kick out of that stuff. I’ve just always been fascinated by books.” [/QUOTE]
