It's a beautiful day, City. Make the most of it.

I need your advice. I'm looking for something to read, something that isn't poetry. Knowing I can't just makes me want to read more! Anything, really. Novels or essays or, I don't even know, so long as you like it.

Call it a change in perspective.

There are a hundred thousand lines that'd suit today and I can't remember one. Still. It's a small price to pay.

I'm guessing chick lit isn't what you're looking for, right?

Hmmm. Maybe Doctorow? Like... Ragtime to start, I think.

Chick lit?

Is that about music?

Shoes, heaving bosoms, snappy pink covers.

Kind of? I mean, it's the running theme for the book, but it's more of a backdrop than actual focus.

Romance novels. [Groooan, eeew, girly stuff.]

I'll look it up.

Hey! They're legitimate guilty pleasures, thanks. Not everything can be old and stuffy and originally written in French.

Tell me if you like it.

I guess it's just not my thing.

I will, thank you. I don't read so many novels or anything, mostly just poetry.

I like to pretend they're not my thing ninety nine point nine percent of the time. But sometimes I need a break from Sumerian for what might as well be brain candy.

...I could suggest a couple more? Unless you have enough already.

Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with that if you enjoy them. I just... don't really think I would?

I've got a good start I think... Only two weeks after all... But I can let you know if I wind up running out?
