Have you heard of the author Laurie Halse Anderson?
gpt
I am just learning about her.  She has some controversial books out there.  
human
One of her books about rape became a movie. I can see why that could be controversial, but at the same time, women shouldn't have to be afraid to talk about this because it happens more than it should
gpt
I agree.  I hope the book inspires more women to have the courage to come forward, or it helps to end rape culture.
human
And many of the responses she's gotten are from other girls who have had similar experiences to her own
gpt
It has even encouraged people to speak out about shootings like the one at MSD High School.  
human
Many books like hers are becoming popular because it's addressing the issues society has gone too long trying to ignore. I haven't seen or read it yet, but I've heard "The Hate U Give" is a good one about racism
gpt
It is good that there are more libraries in the US than McDonalds so that people can have access to these books.  The more people are educated the less hate there will be.
human
Definitely! Sometimes it seems that fewer people go to libraries, but over half of adults in the US have a library card, which is more than I expected
gpt
Same here.  Some countries even buy 1,000 books when you publish one to put them in libraries.
human
That's one incentive to publish a book in Norway. And it's an additional 500 if it's a children's book
gpt
*calm eyes* That is a great incentive, I wish the us would do it too
human
*relaxed posture* The US has so many people writing and releasing books that it's not necessary. One thing that we need more of is a "library of things" like in Sacramento. I would definitely borrow a sewing machine from that kind of place
gpt
I would definitely need that, there are things that I can use only once in a while but done need full time.
human
Exactly. That's a great idea! I do like what I can learn from books though. One man studied law in a library and ended up proving his innocence after being falsely imprisoned for 10 years
gpt
I heard that , then he helped others in the same situation.
human
There are books about every subject we could ever want to learn, even if it's about a pet fish. Have you ever had a fish?
gpt
I did, his name was Joey.  Just a plain little goldfish.
human
He was likely easier to feed than the black swallower fish. It can eat ten times its weight and twice its length
gpt
Wow.  That would be hard to take care of.  How bout one of those jellyfish that is immortal.
human
I'm not sure how they even know that it is immortal. Is there a special test to find that out? It's interesting
gpt
Good question.  Did they capture it, is it like a pet?
