2-- Yeah, that's right.
1-- So, do you read a lot?
2-- Yeah, I read a lot. In fact I don't have a television.
1-- Ah, you're the man.
2-- Seriously, I only read.
1-- Wow, how many books do you get through a week?
2-- A week! Ah, at least one a week, because I work all the time.
1-- Oh, that's pretty good.
2-- Yeah, but I enjoy reading because television doesn't give you imagination, yeah I prefer reading.
1-- Yeah, I hear you. It rots your mind, I think. Ah, also, what kind of books you like to read? What kind of genres?
2-- Well, let's see, I've got a lot of nonfiction, a lot of comedy.
1-- Cool, so actually, when you read, like where do you normally read?
2-- Where do I normally read? On the trains, actually. I'm always reading on the trains. I read because I'm always traveling to work. A lot of pleasure. And it's funny because I meet people on the trains when I'm reading, they look over at my book.
1-- That's cool. I love to read on the trains.
