Hey are you aware of banned books week?
gpt
I didn't know it was a thing because I didn't realize that there are any books that are banned. What do you know about it?
human
I think that it is a reminder of books that have been banned in the past for their controversial content, I remember it during my childhood
gpt
Aren't most of those books now bestsellers? I see the point of the event, but maybe it should be renamed to better reflect their current status
human
yes I think you're right, how often do you go to the library btw?
gpt
*hands at sides* Not very often since most of what I borrow through my library are ebooks and audiobooks. I love that I can access things right on my phone, though I do miss the feel of paper books
human
Well I do wish that my library were more like the Sacramento Public Library, you can read things like sewing machines from there which seems very useful to me
gpt
*hands at sides* True! It would be nice just to be able to borrow something like that that I wouldn't need to own. Hopefully that idea becomes more popular in the coming years
human
*takes a step forward* I hope so. What do you think about William Gladstone? He took a wheelbarrow full of books at the age of 85 and random all the way to donate to his local library LOL
gpt
*hands at sides* Considering he donated 32,000 books, I'm going off the assumption that the venture took him several trips
human
*raises eyebrows* I think so. What do you think about the Norway government though? If you publish a book you are guaranteed to get at least 1000 sales because they will buy your books and put them in libraries all over the country
gpt
I think it encourages writers in their country, that's for sure! I would love to have that incentive to write and publish a book
human
Well you should do a children's book then, because they will buy 1,500 of them instead of just the 1,000 LOL
gpt
Children's books require less writing and more illustrations. It would be worth it for the extra 500 copies though
human
Haha I agree with you. Do you ever buy stuff from Amazon? Do you know why Jeff Bezos put a clock into a mountain LOL
gpt
*eyes widen* I buy things from Amazon all the time. Isn't that the clock that's supposed to run for 10,000 years
human
yes it is, I wish I had bought the first item sold on amazon, then I could have a building named after me for only $28!
gpt
Maybe the name plaque was the only thing he bought
human
well all I know is that I'm happy that usps has a special contract with Amazon to deliver on Sundays, that has saved me several times
gpt
I didn't realize that Amazon also owns IMDb. That's an interesting combination
