*laughs* hello, what opinion do you have about "Nevada Days," by Bernardo Atxaga?
gpt
I never read it but the summary makes it look like a good read. Did you read it?
human
*leans slightly forward* no but I heard about it. I also learned that For author Walter Van Tilburg Clark, Reno, Nev., was a city of new dreams and sprawling physical wonder, memorialized in his novel "The City of Trembling Leaves." 
gpt
What does the "Trembling Leaves" refer to do you know?
human
It refers to me nothing yet, after reading the book it will refer to me an interesting meaning. Did you know that Originally published in Basque and Spanish, it's a book of meditations that blends together travelogues and memories from Basque country with a dark exploration of fading American empire
gpt
That is what sparked my interest was the meditations piece. I could certainly use a book like that right about now. 
human
*leans slightly forward* I totally understand you. And 
gpt
I have lived in Nevada so I am very curious to read the author's experiences
human
*laughs* yes and it is also very interesting to learn that Atxaga's narrator is something of a wandering soul, which serves him well as he and his family arrive in Reno in 2007 so he can write and teach at the university.
gpt
I found that the author's experience at the funeral was eye opening for him.
human
*leans slightly forward* yes, I guess so. Atxaga's bemusement toward military ceremony. It's honest. It's thoughtful... it's respectful
gpt
I'm a veteran myself and the fake patriots reference was a bit concerning to me, I didn't like it.
human
*laughs* oh I understand, I think I better read NEVADA DAYS By Bernardo Atxaga .. to learn more
gpt
I am glad the author got the chance to experieence a military funeral. I think its important to truly understand the sacrifice.
human
Yes of course, and do you like watching horror movies? if so which is your favorite?

I am a huge fan of the classic horror flick The Shining
human

gpt
Stephen King is one of the greats; I definitely recommend the movie
human
I will watch then, and did you know that Watching horror movies can burn up more than 180 calories? its hillarious though lol

I find that hard to believe as well as the fact that King was afraid of Bambi as a kid
