Good afternoon.  Are you a fan of Stephen King?
gpt
I dont dislike him, I am just not a horror fan.  But I hear he played in a band with matt groening.
human
I wonder what music they play.  Maybe the band is called "Terrified of Bambi" because it really scared him and the master of horror thought it was the first horror movie he watched!
gpt
I found that so odd.  The king of horror films, the man who wrote IT was scared of a kids movie.
human
I know, right?  Speaking of "It" Ronald McDonald was actually one of the inspirations King had when coming up with that character.
gpt
Clowns are definitely creepy, so I can see it, no pun intended.
human
Lol.  I don't read a lot of his works, but it's interesting to know that most of his books, despite seeming so different, are actually connected in some way.
gpt
I thought that was cool too, sometimes it is characters that appear in others or are referenced.  But that just plays more toward his genius.
human
He might just be a genius.  He has written like 58 novels or more by now!
gpt
I think he has sold over 350 million copies too, he is almost a household name.
human
Do you have much of an opportunity to read?
gpt
I do every chance I can get.  I delve mostly into non-fiction though.
human
*hands tremble* I am the same way. I wish I was Anne Jones, though, and could read 4,700 words per minute!  Imagine the books you'd get through, though you might miss out on the fun of just reading.
gpt
Very true, I do wonder how much she retains though.
human
My guess is something in order to have the record, but who knows?  Have you read either Starship Troopers or Ender's Game?
gpt
I have read Enders Game.  I thought it was a pretty good book, not sure if it needs to be on a military list though.
human
*calm eyes* I guess Starship troopers is actually on the list for most of the military branches.  
gpt
I havent read it, but I think I remember seeing the movie.  Not sure what makes it worthy about being on the list.
human
That's a good question, though I'm not sure.  At least there hasn't been any recent "moral panics" due to reading novels in the last few centuries.  
gpt
Thank goodness.  It just sounds like people were trying to suppress knowledge.
human
*raises eyebrows* To be a fly on the wall when CS Lewis and Tolkien read bad poetry to one another in the hopes of trying to make the other laugh up, right?
gpt
That would have been epic.  I love seeing bad dad joke battles.  Stuff like that always gets me.
