Hello! Tell me something about yourself!
Speaker 2
I like animals and have a kind heart.
Speaker 1
That's really nice :) it's cool to find someone with a nice heart.
Speaker 2
Yes, having a doctor mom and fireman dad has made me very kind in general.
Speaker 1
That's great! My parents are a bit different, my dad is a truck driver.
Speaker 2
Does he ever read while driving? I am a big reader myself.
Speaker 1
That's dangerous. We're more of an active family though, I like working outdoors.
Speaker 2
I prefer to sit on the couch with my animal friends and read.
Speaker 1
Nice! I also play basketball often. My outdoor genes come from my canadian mother.
Speaker 2
I sometimes like to go hiking with my animal friends as well.
Speaker 1
Oh nice :) hiking is tough because it takes me longer to walk, since I'm short.
Speaker 2
I'm really kind, so I wouldn't make fun of you if you went hiking with me.

Speaker 1
What book are you currently reading?
Speaker 2
I'm reading a Stephen King novel. Are you reading anything? What's your favorite genre of book?
Speaker 1
Oh nice, I like Stephen King too. Which of his novels are you reading? I like dystopian fiction, currently reading Margaret Atwood, supporting Canadian authors lol
Speaker 2
I'm reading his newest novel, Later. Oh, I've seen a TV adaptation of one of Margaret Atwood's books!
Speaker 1
Is it Handmaid's tale? I love that show
Speaker 2
Yes, me too. It was dark, but thought provoking. Do you recommend anything else like it?
Speaker 1
After I read Handmaid's Tale I read 1984, which was similar. I read it in highschool, but couldn't truly appreciate it back then.
Speaker 2
1984. That's written by George Orwell?
Speaker 1
Yup, he also wrote Animal Farm, which is also very dark and thought provoking, and you might like it since it's about animals!
Speaker 2
Yeah, I do like dark and thought provoking movies. Bonus that it's about animals. I'll try giving it a shot. You seem to know a lot of literature.
Speaker 1
I used to sit in the truck on long trips with my dad, and had nothing to do other than read. 
Speaker 2
Ah, that makes sense. I started reading when my parents were at work. My mom was working a lot, and sometimes she brought me to the hospital where I'd read at her desk. What does your mom do for work?

Speaker 1
I looked into the 1984 book we were speaking about before. 
Speaker 2
oh ya? did you start reading it yet?
Speaker 1
Yeah! It was much better this time around I definitely understood all of the nuances now that I am older!
Speaker 2
i always thought it was a little bit weird to have us read it in high school. definitely more to appreciate to read as an adult i think. have you picked out the next book that you want to read yet?
Speaker 1
I'm not sure what I want to read next! I can be very indecisive. Do you have a good book to reccomend?
Speaker 2
hmm.....i read a book once call 1q84 which is a very surreal type book, which sounds like what you like! warning though, it is verry long. i really think it might be up your alley if you can commit to that long of a book
Speaker 1
I definitely have a lot of free time right so I will take a look at it!
Speaker 2
then that is perfect! it should keep you busy for quite a long time. we should schedule a hike together sometime to balance out all the reading with some exercise too. would you be interested?
Speaker 1
As long as we go slow so I can keep up! Where do you usually hike?
Speaker 2
we can go as fast or slow as you like. it's not as much about the speed for me anyway. i really like to enjoy and take in the sights and the fresh air. then great, i will find a good hike for us, and maybe we could plan a picnic too. what kinds of picnic foods do you like?
Speaker 1
I can make sandwiches for us! I also have a very good recipe for homemade lemonade! Do you like lemonade?
Speaker 2
i love lemonade! it will be so refreshing after a hike. lemonade and sandwiches will be perfect. i hope the weather stays nice enough for our hike and picnic

Tell me about some of the pets that you have.
Speaker 2
Haha I'll have to go one at a time. Each one is so unique! One is a Chocolate Lab who is totally silly.
Speaker 1
I love animals! I didn't grow up with pets. I hope I can get a dog
Speaker 2
That's a great idea! Have you thought about the kind of dog you'd like to get?
Speaker 1
I thought about a big dog that can come with me outdoors. Do you have any suggestions?
Speaker 2
Sounds like my Lab! In all seriousness, Labs make great big dogs as they are super friendly and they get along well with other dogs.
Speaker 1
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to keep that in mind. Have you seen any dark movies lately?
Speaker 2
I don't know if it counts, but I recently re-watched The Green Mile. Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 1
No, is it fairly new? Did you watch it online?
Speaker 2
No, it was made a few decades ago. It has Tom Hanks in the main role, and he gives an incredible performance!
Speaker 1
Oh no way! Tom Hanks went to my college!
Speaker 2
No kidding! Which school did you attend?

I finished reading 1984. I thought it was interesting.
Speaker 2
You did? Have you thought about what you’ll read next?
Speaker 1
Not yet. Just finished this morning! Was thinking of asking you for recommendations!
Speaker 2
Well I am reading The Stand by Stephen King. It’s a long book but has been a good read so far.
Speaker 1
I will look into that one as well! I was thinking about reading the Green Mile book since I haven't seen the movie either. Have you read that one?
Speaker 2
I have not read the book actually. I’ve only seen the movie, which was really good. 
Speaker 1
Maybe I will start that one and we can switch books when we are done! You can read Green Mile and I can read The Stand next?
Speaker 2
That sounds good…have you read any Dean Koontz?
Speaker 1
I have not. I haven't even heard of him actually. What type of stories does he write?
Speaker 2
He does a lot of suspense thrillers, but he incorporates elements of horror, fantasy, science fiction, mystery, and satire!
Speaker 1
Sounds packed with nail biting reading! I will look into him! Thanks! Do you have an all time favorite book?
Speaker 2
From Dean Koontz? False Memory, it’s a book about a woman who has a rare phobia, autophobia-fear of ones self…it was good!
