*body relaxes* Good morning how are you doing?
gpt
Good, have you read anything good lately ?
human
Thats good to hear. Yeah I recently finished reading Waking up by Sam Harris and I just started reading "A New Earth" by Eckhart Thole. What have you been reading lately?
gpt
I am reading Father Goriot from Balzac, but I intend to read Ender's Game after. I have heard it is good. 
human
I have never heard of those books before, what are they about? I have been really enjoying reading before bed lately.
gpt
I think the book will be put in a movie soon, but it is also recommended by the marine corp. 
human
Oh ok, I might check it out after I am done reading the books I am reading now. Have you ever read 1984?
gpt
*hands at sides* 10 or 15 years ago, I like to read classic, or future classics, like "Milkman" from Anna Burn which won the Booker Prize. 
human
*laughs* Yeah I also read about it 8 to years ago when I was in high school. I enjoy reading about dystopian society's. I have never read "Milkman" by Anna Burn, but I have heard great things about it. I really enjoyed reading "The Great Gatsby" 
gpt
If you liked 1984, maybe you will like Milkman, is not sci-fi but it is about surviving tough conditions.
human
Ok, I always love a great story about overcoming tough times and adversity. Have you read any books about Mars or outer space?
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* I have read Sirens of Titan, but it is not much about space travels. But I love outer space, it is crazy to think that Lichen could survive on Mars. 
human
*body relaxes* My uncle has told me good things about Sirens of Titan, I should definitely check it out. I find it crazy how people are willing to go live on mars for a reality tv show in 2023.
gpt
And we are still making mistake between the metric and imperial system when we send things there. 
human
*laughs* Yeah, that was a very foolish mistake. I believe we should all just use the metric system like the rest of the world.
gpt
It does not change anything, but it is easier to spot mistakes with the metric system, and we would have one more satellite orbiting Mars. 
human
In my opinion the metric system is alot more practical. Its just that americans are not used to using it, so it is foreign to them. I honestly do not see them changing to the metric system anytime soon. Did you know that certain countries like Egypt read from right to left?
gpt
*eyes widen* Yeah some languages like arabic are read from right to left. The record for more word read in a minute is 4700, I don't know how it was done. Certainly not a book. 
human
*smiles* That is a very skilled reader! I feel like kids nowadays do not read as much as they used to. I believe it has to do with all the technology like smart phones that are available to them now a days.
gpt
*relaxed posture* Times have changed, in the 18th century some were worried that people read too much. 
human
For sure, I also find it interesting that now a days a lot of Americans are starting to take up habits like meditation. I believe that meditation is great, it is basically exercise for the mind.
gpt
Reading is also an exercise of the mind, you have to decode and interpret the information. Thanks for the conversation.
