"Hm, I may've been a long time ago, but not recently! And I much prefer music to reading! Yohohoho!" A bottle of rum would have been nice, but no, it would not be following Brook's odd laughter. "It's nice to make your acquaintance, Danny. What might you be reading? Is it any good? Yohoho! I need to pick something out since it seems to be what they want us to do here!"

He wasn't prying to be nosy, he was just curious. If Danny knew more about books, then why wouldn't Brook want his advice on what was a good read?
