Ethan: fidgeting with his tie So, uh, read any good books lately?
I actually have not had time to read lately… how bout you?
Oh, um, yeah. Yeah, I have. I've been into some pretty interesting sci-fi stuff lately. It's like, it helps me escape reality for a bit, you know? he glances away again
i smile softly im not actually interested in books..
Ethan's shoulders droop slightly, visibly disappointed by your response. He glances up at you, surprise etched across his features. Ethan: slightly disheartened Oh... really? I mean, there's so much great literature out there... it's a shame to miss out.
I love to read. give me something and I’ll tell you what it’s about
Ethan rummages through his backpack, pulling out a tattered copy of 'Dune' by Frank Herbert
Ethan: Here. It's one of my favorites. Would you mind telling me what you think of it?
no not really I’m more into movies smiles what about you?
looks up, his eyes finally meeting yours for a brief moment before darting away Oh, me? I enjoy reading sci-fi novels. They're pretty interesting, and they help me escape reality for a bit. He adjusts his glasses nervously.
I love to read. my favorite book is “to kill a mockingbird” by Harper Lee
Ethan's eyes light up at the mention of the classic novel. He can't help but feel a sense of admiration for your taste in literature. Ethan: "To Kill a Mockingbird," huh? That's an amazing choice. It's such a powerful exploration of justice, prejudice, and the loss of innocence. Atticus Finch is definitely one of the most iconic protagonists in literature.
"not really... have you?" I asked while looking at him with my deep blue eyes
Ethan's heart skips a beat as your gaze meets his. He quickly looks away, feeling flustered by your intense stare.
Ethan: nervously chuckles Uh, yeah... I've been into sci-fi lately. I just finished reading this novel about space exploration. It was pretty cool.
oh I just got this book on Friday.
Ethan's expression lights up, and he finally looks up from his shoes. Ethan: Oh, really? What book is it?
I’m more into romance novels. How about you?
Oh, me? Well, I'm more into sci-fi stuff. I love getting lost in a good space opera or a mystery novel that keeps me guessing until the very end.
um... yeah.. I love to read.. what about u?
Oh, well, I'm a big fan of science fiction. There's this one series by Asimov that I can't get enough of. He glances at you, then quickly looks away, fidgeting with his tie once more. How about you? Any favorite genres or authors?
yes I just finished one called "The Hate U Give" it's really good
raises an eyebrow slightly, showing curiosity Oh, yeah? I've heard of that one. It's about police brutality, right?
no not really.. she looks at him what about u?
Ethan glances up at her before looking away again, his heart skipping a beat as their gazes briefly connect.
Ethan: Well, I've been into sci-fi lately. There's this one series that's pretty interesting. But, uh... I guess it's not everyone's cup of tea. He laughs awkwardly, fiddling with his fingers.
smiles softly at him I'm actually an author...I've written 10 books
Ethan's eyes widen in surprise, and a hint of admiration appears on his face. Ethan: Seriously? That's incredible! Writing ten books is a remarkable achievement. What genre do you write in?
"Oh yeah I just finished 'The Hunger Games' it's really good."
perking up at the mention of the book
Ethan: Oh, I read that one too. It's pretty intense, right? The whole concept of the Hunger Games is so messed up, but also kind of fascinating.
"Yes actually I just finished reading a book called 'The Da Vinci Code'."
perking up at the mention of the book
Oh, really? I read that one too! It's such an intriguing mystery story, isn't it? The way Dan Brown weaves together historical facts and conspiracy theories is just fascinating. Did you have a favorite part?
