1. i think he meant that everything we have tells a story and stems from the original form of storytelling books. a lot of the present-day ideas and stories stem from the history of books. i think he is overall trying to say that books are the of many things we have present-day.
2. i agree with this statement because it represents the truth in history. throughout time, things have evolved and changed. we don't always look towards the library first anymore as generations before us have. we look towards the internet before anyhting. not saying this is bad, but it just goes to show how true to statement above is.
