My favorite book is Starship troopers. Have you read that book? 
gpt
Hmm, sounds familiar but I haven't. Is it sci-fi? I love to read and have done some writing myself, including sci-fi.
human
*takes a step back* Yes, sci-fi. I didnt know that its on the list of reading materials for some of the us military. 
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I'll have to look it up then if that is suggested for them. Seems like the Art of War would be more appropriate. Speaking of Sci-fi. Did you know Michael Jackson released an audiobook/soundtrack album for E.T.?
human
No, i didnt! I love that movie! 
gpt
Yes, one of my favorites of all time. I wonder if people check out the DVD from the library. I heard that many libraries now carry video games to attract teenagers inside. Book checkouts have increased due to the seeing books on the shelf on the way to the games section.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Some library's do! I know that the one next to my house does! 
gpt
*eyes widen* Really??? I wish mine did. Which games? I bet not GTA 5. Speaking of teenagers, a Malawian teenager taught himself how to build a watermill out of junk to power his village.
human
*eyes widen* Most are pretty family friendly. But theyre free so thats not bad.

*laughs* I bet minecraft. I used to teach in a computer lab in middle school. I encouraged the kids to play minecraft instead of boring test taking skills. I told the students to switch the screens real quick when the principal would come in.
human
*eyes brighten* Almost all kids are into that game! I like that libraries are still around. Theres one in California that even checks out sewing machines and stuff.

I read articles years ago that they were starting to consider shutting libraries down but now with computer access they are becoming more popular than ever. I use the free wifi to download movies on my phone from Prime. I have completely cut the cable at home, no tv, no dish, no cable, no wifi. I just stream from my phone offline now. In the library of Alexandria they would take original copies of books and copy them putting the originals in the Library for safe keeping.
human
I have cut all of my stuff as well. I feel like i should read more to get close to the record of 4700 words per minute.

I tried speed reading. It can be done but it takes the fun out of it. And it is not relaxing. It is like driving a race car through a park and finishing it in 30 seconds as opposed to walking for 30 minutes enjoying nature.
human
I wish i could speed read! I think its crazy that people in the 18th century had a panic over the spread of novels. 
gpt
*takes a step back* Well, they had a panic over the spread of comic books originally too. They thought they were making kids violent and wanted to ban them like wanted to Elvis's singing and today's video games. Do you read Audio Books? I heard Dotrice narrated 224 different characters for the Game of Thrones audiobook.
human
i know it seems like a panic over nothing. I didnt know that. Ive actually never seen games of thrones. 
gpt
*slouches* I had to stop watching it because my wife doesn't like violent shows and would get mad.. Now all I watch with her is chick flick shows like Covert Affairs and Mozart in the Jungle. What shows  you like?
human
*body relaxes* I watch too much Parking Wars. Im addicted to seeing people get upset getting parking tickets. 
gpt
I saw one about a Towing Company. But I think that was a different one. There was a funny one about them trying to get a guys car who was doing Karate on one of the male drivers when the black female tow driver came up behind him with a wrench and knocked him out. She said "He may know ka-rah-tay...but I know cra-cra." I laughed my head off.
human
*eyes brighten* Those shows are mind numbingly good. You have a great day! 
gpt
You too!
