um i would take it that you probably read quite a bit if you picked this category 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 oh you'll talk about anything right 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 uh me too what kind of books do you read well mostly fiction and um i i the nonfiction i like are are the usually the crime stories i see see and um 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 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 that that's why i read it because i don't have to relate to it 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 well thank goodness believe me 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 have you read The Firm oh yeah it's very good oh that was one of the best books i've read for a long time yeah yeah that was good i read that oh quite a while ago and um see another one i just read that i thought was really excellent was uh Jurassic Park oh by um oh Crichton right Crichton now now what is that about is that uh an espionage thing 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 oh really recreated dinosaurs uh-huh 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 yeah yeah yes i have but i Terminal Man was that was that one of his Terminal Man yeah i've seen seems like i've seen the movie he he writes stuff his writing books are similar to Robin Cook's have you read any Robin Cook i've read a couple of Robin Cook's 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 um-hum 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 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 Fear is that what you said Fear Sphere S P H E R E oh oh no i don't know i'm not familiar with that no well how about did you read Silence of the Lambs oh oh yes oh yes you did you read his other one The Red Dragon yes now uh both of them were terrific yes i did they were uh Silence of the Lambs though was i i could not put the book down i 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 you're kidding 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 oh yes 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 i see the movie was wonderful you didn't see it yeah the movie was good but i well you know compared to the book right no well true it didn't have the impact but i thought that they stayed uh they stayed very faithful to the book 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 well it's hard to top that book yeah well that's true and i'm waiting his new one comes out sometime in the spring i think oh really what's it about have you another serial killer 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 oh Two Minute Warning 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 you know i think you're right i think i but um i'll have to look back and see what else he's written because he that's all he's written Red Dragon that one and uh Silence of the really
