I really enjoy reading? How about yourself?
gpt
*sighs* I love to read. I think society needs to recapture a love of reading. We are missing out on some great books. 
human
*lips slightly parted* I definitely agree. Are you aware of Starship Troopers?
gpt
*lips slightly parted* I don't think i've heard of that one. Is it a sci fi novel or fantasy?
human
Sci-fi. It is the first of it's genre to be on the reading list of three of the five military branches. 
gpt
That suprises me. I would have thought there would be no fiction on that list at all ever. It is good they are expanding the list. 
human
*takes a step forward* Oddly Ender's Game is also on the reading list for military organizations. 
gpt
I've never read that one. Another one I have a hard time getting into is anything by George RR Martin. 
human
I love the show Game of Thrones but he is way too focused on things that really don't further the plot in his books for me. 
gpt
*shakes head* Yep all of the interpersonal smutty stuff could have been trimmed out. I guess he has been writing since childhood though and people have always bought the stories. 
human
Well he's done well for himself. Did you know that in the 18th century there was a moral panic about reading novels?
gpt
I could see that especially given the content of some novels and the way society was back then. I wonder what they would think of Martin's books. 
human
Good question. I guess there always has to be a moral panic about something. Books then, later music, video games, and movies. 
gpt
True. It is fascinating to see literature evolve over time. Even something as simple as kissing wasn't even a thing back in ancient manuscripts. 
human
*eyes widen* That's so strange to me. I wonder if romantic kissing is a new concept only in literature or altogether?
gpt
I think probably in literature. Goes back to the moral code of the times. It wasn't proper to discuss in the written form. 
human
*furrows brow* You're probably correct. Did you know that the FDA burned six tons of literature as an act of censorship? I disagree with all censorship and burning books is such a tragedy.
gpt
That just guts me. Books should never be censored. I might not agree with some books but the creative process is something that should be revered not stifled. 
human
I agree. Did you also know that Churchill won a Nobel prize?
gpt
In literature? I coudl totally see that. He was amazing with words.
