Hey do you like to read? One of my favorite books is The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe and the author of that book, CS Lewis, used to have "you laugh you lose" competitions with ready bad poetry.
gpt
I do like to read, CS lewis is a great author although I like audio books better. 
human
*eyes widen* I'm sorry I meant "reading" and typed ready. Audio books are great too. They originally started out a a project for the blind.
gpt
Did you know when it got started? Jim Dale is a great audiobook narrator 
human
I'm not sure. And yeah he's done 300 voices for the Harry Potter audiobooks.
gpt
*tilts head* He had playback recording to remember each of the voices, he is really skilled. 
human
Very smart. In 2016, audiobook sales rose 35%. People found it's a great way to multitask.
gpt
I do too, I like to listen to audiobook on the way to work and also when I am working. 
human
*takes a step back* Me too, but mainly when I go for long walks or while exercising.Michael Jackson even released an audiobook directed by Spielberg for ET.
gpt
Yeah even Michael Jackson released an audiobook and Weird Al Yancovich did so as well with Wil Wheaton and other artists. 
human
*opens mouth slightly* I was surprised to learn that there are more libraries than McDonald's in the US. I would have though the opposite.
gpt
I know right, there is a McDonalds pretty much everywhere, did you hear about the man that studied law while falsely imprisoned. 
human
Yeah, he studied law over 10 years and proved his innocence. Later he became a lawyer to help free those who have been falsely accused. Very admirable.
gpt
It is, many would just cry the sentence out but he did something with his time there kind of like forced college. 
human
*relaxed posture* If there's a will, there's a way and with some determination and perseverance anything can be accomplished.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Yeah I guess so, reading is a good way to accomplish it you can learn so much, too bad many kids prefer watching movies and wasting time now a days. 
human
Yeah they just aren't being taught the value of reading. In the 18th Century there was a moral panic because of the spread of the reading of novels, now there is smart phone panic.
gpt
Yeah there seems to be one, I hope that changes one day, on a positive note smartphones are useful for audiobooks so not everything is bad. 
human
Yes and books can be read on smartphones. Did you know that there is a library of things? Patrons can check out items that they need now, but not for long term.
gpt
I didnt know that, that is and interesting concept, a library of things, nice. I bet its really popular. 
human
*eyes brighten* I would go if I were in Sacramento! Great chat! Have a good day.
gpt
Yeah that would be a great idea, its been great chatting with you also, I'm going to read a book now maybe go to the local library bye.
