[speaker001:] um I would take it that you probably read quite a bit if you picked this category
[speaker002:] okay yeah well I picked every almost every category well they said you well they said pick fifteen categories and there wasn't really all that much I was into I mean I'm interest interest of course I do read a lot but that's uh
[speaker001:] oh you'll talk about anything right
[speaker002:] but I I also picked gardening and I mean I tried to talk about that for five minutes I don't really garden very much but books I could talk about you know forever I
[speaker001:] uh me too what kind of books do you read
[speaker002:] well mostly fiction and um I I the nonfiction I like are are the usually the crime stories
[speaker001:] I see
[speaker002:] see and um
[speaker001:] we're gonna get along well well I like fiction uh matter of fact well my favorite would be horror type stories such as Stephen King and such
[speaker002:] oh you too oh see now I don't like I don't like those types I I can't relate to stuff like that it's so weird you know it's
[speaker001:] that that's why I read it because I don't have to relate to it
[speaker002:] I yeah well I like uh I I like a book I could in some way relate to and and that's I don't know it's so off the wall most of that stuff you know you really I you can't really believe it I mean you it's hard to to to read it and and really think that this could really happen it's it's I don't know it's not believable to me at all
[speaker001:] well thank goodness believe me
[speaker002:] well well that's true I mean you don't have to read a book and believe that you know stuff can happen but I don't know I guess I just go more for realism
[speaker001:] have you read The Firm
[speaker002:] oh yeah it's very good
[speaker001:] oh that was one of the best books I've read for a long time
[speaker002:] yeah yeah that was good I read that oh quite a while ago
[speaker001:] and um see another one I just read that I thought was really excellent was uh Jurassic Park
[speaker002:] oh by um oh Crichton right Crichton now now what is that about is that uh an espionage thing
[speaker001:] Michael Crichton or something like that have you read that one no it's about um this multimillionaire that has decided that he wants to start a theme park and it's about dinosaurs well they've taken DNA material from dinosaurs and and
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] really recreated dinosaurs
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and well it's a little far fetched also but um it was really an excellent book it held my interest have you read any of his other things
[speaker002:] yeah yeah yes I have but I Terminal Man was that was that one of his
[speaker001:] Terminal Man yeah I've seen seems like I've seen the movie
[speaker002:] he he writes stuff his writing books are similar to Robin Cook's have you read any Robin Cook
[speaker001:] I've read a couple of Robin Cook's
[speaker002:] yeah and they're sort of similar you know the in the you know he deals a lot in you know scientific stuff or you know stuff that um you don't know whether could it could happen or not you know it's just um
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] you know but I mean most of it is good I uh haven't uh I haven't read anything by him in a long time
[speaker001:] well I noticed he had a couple I don't know how recent they are but I think Sphere was one and something else uh another one word title and I thought I might pick up one of those books because
[speaker002:] Fear is that what you said Fear
[speaker001:] Sphere S P H E R E
[speaker002:] oh oh no I don't know I'm not familiar with that no
[speaker001:] well how about did you read Silence of the Lambs
[speaker002:] oh oh yes oh yes you did you read his other one The Red Dragon yes now uh both of them were terrific
[speaker001:] yes I did they were uh Silence of the Lambs though was I I could not put the book down I
[speaker002:] well see now I couldn't either now I uh a friend of mine started to read it because you know I told her it's terrific and everybody she'd spoke to said it was terrific she couldn't get into it
[speaker001:] you're kidding
[speaker002:] well she's sort of a lightweight anyway you know her her uh her reading consists of uh have you ever heard of V C Andrews
[speaker001:] oh yes
[speaker002:] yeah you know stuff like that you know Danielle Steele you know you know stuff like that so she really she couldn't get into this but she I think she said she saw the movie she liked the movie I don't you know
[speaker001:] I see the movie was wonderful you didn't see it
[speaker002:] yeah the movie was good but I well you know compared to the book right no
[speaker001:] well true it didn't have the impact but I thought that they stayed uh they stayed very faithful to the book
[speaker002:] well they did but um I don't think it was as scary as I expected it to be I I really you know I I don't know I just didn't think it was as suspenseful as as I expected it to be I don't know but it was a good it was a good movie
[speaker001:] well it's hard to top that book
[speaker002:] yeah well that's true and I'm waiting his new one comes out sometime in the spring I think
[speaker001:] oh really what's it about have you another serial killer
[speaker002:] yes uh probably another murder thing you know that's usually what he you know well this this' ll be I think his fourth or fifth book and the other the previous ones were murder um the he wrote also Black Sunday which was a about the uh bombing in the in the Superdome oh it was oh and they made a movie out of that
[speaker001:] oh Two Minute Warning
[speaker002:] um gee I don't know I think it was called Black Sunday it was about fifteen well no about ten years ago I guess it uh you know
[speaker001:] you know I think you're right I think I
[speaker002:] but um
[speaker001:] I'll have to look back and see what else he's written because he
[speaker002:] that's all he's written Red Dragon that one and uh Silence of the
[speaker001:] really
