I enjoy reading. How about yourself?
gpt
*takes a step back* Hi, I do. I was actually reading a book written by Winston Churchill, after I finished it, I realized he won a nobel prize for it!
human
I just recently discovered that he won a Nobel for literature but not peace which is the opposite of what I would have thought. 
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Yes. He was before my time so I only really knew about his actions as PM. Old books are interesting. In ancient greek books there are some weird romances but they rarely mention kissing for instance.
human
I had also heard that. Apparently romantic kissing is a fairly recent development. I wonder why that is?
gpt
No idea, I'm sure you can find the answer in a book. Unless it's been destroyed.
human
Ugh, that's always upsetting. The FDA burned six tons of literature in the US as an act of censorship. What a waste. It makes me so angry.
gpt
Yeah, a lot of those can never be recovered. Fortunately these days with e books it's virtually impossible to destroy literature as a digital copy will always remain.
human
I certainly hope they don't find a way. Have you heard that there is a yearly contest tat challenges writers to come up with the worst opening sentence for a novel?
gpt
I have not, but you'd think it wouldn't be too difficult to do. There are some pretty bad books out there. This is non fiction but I was just reading about boots if you can believe that. I thought it would be bad but it was interesting.
human
Oh really. What was an interesting fact you came across?
gpt
Nokia used to make boots! That's what they were known for. Given how their phones have gone lately maybe they should go back to boots.
human
What?! I never would have expected that. Here's one. Do you know why Ugg boots were invented?
gpt
Yes, that was in the book too. For surfers to keep their feet warm. You wouldn't think boots are interesting but honestly I was fascinated learning about them.
human
*eyes widen* You would think they would absorb a lot of water and become uncomfortable. They do not seem very water repellent. 
gpt
*takes a step forward* The earlier models were a lot different the the uggs of today. Before trucks farmers used to make little boots for turkeys they'd walk to markets. You would think a wagon or something like that would be more efficient. 
human
*smiles* Ha ha, boots for turkeys. That is a hilarious image. I would love to see that. 
gpt
I just don't see how that would have been cost effective. Especially with the turkeys sold for meat once they reach their destination.
human
Me either. Do you know what the phrase "pulling oneself up by their bootstraps" used to mean?
gpt
No, I don't think that was mentioned in the book, but I am curious...
