Hi! Do you enjoy reading? I've been wanting to read Starship Troopers since it's the first Sci-Fi novel to make the reading lists of three US military branches! It must be great!
gpt
I love reading. I read starship troopers a long time ago. saw the movie too. Heinlein was in the military. the navy, i think.
human
*eyes widen* That's awesome! I'd also like to read Ender's Game as it's also suggested for military organizations even including the Marine corps! 
gpt
i never saw the movie for that, but i did read the book. Orson Scott Card is a great writer. would you ride a reading bicycle?
human
Ha! I don't know if I'd be able to. But what I do wish is that I could read 4,700 words per minute which is a world record set by Anne Jones. Wouldn't that be awesome?
gpt
I guess, but how much does she retain? can she remember all that info? we should give her a test a week later.
human
That is a good point. She probably doesn't retain much. Ha! On a related reading note, I find it sad that there was a moral panic over the spread of the reading of novels back in the 18th Century. I'm so glad we don't love back in those times.
gpt
Yeah, poetry was considered the highest form of literature, and novels were vulgar, dealing with themes not suitable for civilized people.
human
*eyes brighten* Such a shame! But to lighten things up, Tolkien and CS Lewis both held a you laugh, you lose  competition while reading horrible poetry. I think that's hilarious! Ha! I bet they had plenty of laughs too!
gpt
I would buy tickets to that event. it sounds great. those two were terrific authors.
human
Indeed they were! Speaking of authors and books, do you like libraries? I'm glad to hear there are still more libraries than there are McDonald's here in the US and over half the adult population still has library cards! That gives me a little hope!
gpt
I am amazed by that fact. there is so much obesity in the US, i figure it would be the other way around. maybe we could combined libraries and fast food? LOL
human
Hey, maybe so! It would be similar to the Sacramento library that started a library of things where they let you check out stuff you may need temporarily but don't want to own like sewing machines!
gpt
*hands at sides* the tool library is an awesome idea. many people dont have enough money for some basic tools. reduce, reuse recycle. it is a good system.
human
*eyes brighten* That is a great idea, actually. I wonder if they sell tools at the "library of things"? Speaking of libraries, I think it's nice that if you publish a book in Norway, the government there buys 1000 copies and distributes them to libraries across their country. I wish every government would do that!
gpt
I will move to Norway. I will write childrens books and become rich. that is now my plan. Yes!
human
*eyes brighten* It's a great idea. We mentioned the library of things previously, but I wonder if they also rent out legos?   I love Legos! In fact, the German  Lego factory would give out a 14k gold Lego brick to employees who had worked there for 25 years back in the early 80s. I think that is awesome and it's too bad they still don't do that today!
gpt
I think that is great. I would love to work for Lego. I think the library just lends out tools for adults. 
human
Probably so! Well speaking of legos, did you ever hear about that German graffiti artist who painted a 250 square meter bridge to resemble a lego? That takes serious talent. Ha!
gpt
That is a cool way to decorate the urban landscape ! Anyway, thanks for the chat!
human
*hands at sides* Agreed it is! But Legos are so popular now, as it has movies, amusement parks, games and competitions all under it's name brand. Well thanks for chatting with me as well. Hope you have a great day, friend!
gpt
*hands at sides* You, too! Have a great day.
