[speaker001:] uh uh do you have any uh particular books that you've read lately that are are good books that you've enjoyed
[speaker002:] I haven't read much lately I've always reading is one of my favorite things but somehow the last few months I just haven't read I've read more magazines than books it's which is most unusual for me but um have you read anything lately
[speaker001:] not real lately when they came up with this topic I thought gee I read a lot of books and now I thought what have I read lately um
[speaker002:] why what whoa I can't I know I read a bunch a few months back but I can't remember the titles oh
[speaker001:] oh isn't that funny I will have to say
[speaker002:] I'd have to go look around my room for the books I've read and they're still stacked there
[speaker001:] oh well it seems like I've have read a lot of children's books lately to my my kids and things like that but
[speaker002:] well now I have too well I have grandchildren and uh the oldest is two but he you know loves books so so I have read more of those myself
[speaker001:] oh huh
[speaker002:] lately I did buy the sequel to uh Gone With the Wind the other day
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] and I've read the first chapter and and I thought it was real good and I have not even picked it back up you know and Gone With the Wind is my all time
[speaker001:] huh
[speaker002:] favorite book you know so you would have thought I'd a had the whole thing read by now
[speaker001:] oh is it by the same author
[speaker002:] no uh no see Margaret Mitchell died uh oh maybe ten years after she wrote Gone With the Wind and she that's the only book she ever wrote
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] and uh so the heirs to her estate after fifty years picked this Alexander Ripley I think is her name to write the sequel which she did and
[speaker001:] um-hum well that may that may be the reason you can't get into it as as much oh
[speaker002:] no no it it it was very good it it brought all those characters back to life I just I just well I don't know I've just been busy and I just haven't read
[speaker001:] oh uh-huh
[speaker002:] where I've I used to find time
[speaker001:] yeah I yeah you know if I get reading a book I like to just close the door and just read you know and even stay up really late at night and and just stay into it until I finish uh
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum I used to be that way but
[speaker001:] yeah sometimes it's hard to do that with our lives
[speaker002:] well I get well I'm fifty three and I you know I just get sleepy and I go to bed early so where I used to do that years ago I don't anymore and I do I work my husband's an accountant and we moved our office home about two years ago
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] so I work at home but I have a lot of work to do you know
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and uh then when I'm not doing that like I have my grandkids a lot because my daughter travels and she has a twenty month and then a four month
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] so that's why we're going to Plano today that's where we pick them up at day care
[speaker001:] I see oh I see well some of the books that I have read um that I really enjoyed getting into was um the one Ellen Drury books you know Advice and Consent and have you ever read any of those
[speaker002:] now is that like a classic
[speaker001:] it really is um
[speaker002:] I mean I mean written quite a ways back that you like maybe read in high school or something or am I thinking of a different one with that name
[speaker001:] it's been around awhile but it's not you know it's not from the eighteen hundreds or anything this is it's a book um it's written in the nineteen hundreds and it's written uh about what goes on in Washington you know in the Senate and the House and
[speaker002:] oh no that's not what I was thinking of
[speaker001:] the President and everything and um it really gets into kind of the wheeling and dealing type thing and it's just it gets really fascinating I didn't think something like that would catch my interest but uh the way it's written and everything it is excellent it just really uh it's well worth reading
[speaker002:] oh yeah uh-huh I'll be darn okay well I sure wish I could remember what I've read so I could tell you something I did read that oh gosh
[speaker001:] oh there's another book out that's called All I Ever Wanted uh Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten have you ever heard of
[speaker002:] now I have seen that what is that about
[speaker001:] that's just real cute it's um it's just got a lot of ideas in it about basic things you know that we do and um you know things that you learn in kindergarten that that really apply to your life um there's one little section in there that that talks about um
[speaker002:] oh uh-huh
[speaker001:] uh holding hands and sticking together and um you know having cookies and milk and wouldn't it be nice if we could all still take a nap in the afternoon you know and it's
