I don't actually think I've learned anything super interesting lately. What about you?
This kind of question always stumps me. I know I've learned something interesting I just can't think of it right now...
I guess I'm kind of in the same boat. Nothing interesting that I can really think of.
Is there something that interests you that you'd like to talk about instead?
I'm down to talk about anything really! What is your favorite book?
Hmmm... I like a lot of books... my favorite series is the Bartemaus Trilogy though. I think I spelled that right.
I don't think I have heard of that. What is it about?
A djinn that's brought into the world by a young wizard and their adventures. There's a lot more to it, but that's a good summary.
Wow that sounds interesting. I'll have to look it up and maybe pick up a copy. I always love finding new books to read; at least when I have the time.
Yeah, time is always the issue. The djinn is a sassy narrator too. It's fun to read. What's your favorite book?
Similar to you I have many I like. I think my favorite is probably either the Maze Runner trilogy or the Harry Potter books. There are tons more too but those are the first ones that came to my head.
I haven't finished the Maze Runner trilogy. I think I stopped halfway through the second book for some reason. My family always listens to Harry Potter on disc so I know it well.
Maybe it just wasn't for you? That's okay though. That's awesome!
I liked the first book. I think I just ran out of time and forgot about it. The narrator for the discs is awesome too. Makes listening to it even better!
That's actually one of the reasons I don't like listening to books on tape is because I don't usually like the narrators. I don't know that I've heard those ones though so maybe that narrator is better.
I get that. The dude that does Harry Potter is really good. I can't remember his name though. His voice is deep and he's good with different character voices.
That's cool. My dad loves books on tape so I wonder if he has listened to those ones. Maybe I'll have to ask if he has them.
Sounds like a plan. What do you think about the Maze Runner movies though?
They were alright. Not my favorites but also not the worst. Have you seen them?
I saw the first one and cringed so bad I couldn't bring myself to see anymore. The actors were too old.
They didn't follow the books super closely so the only way I could enjoy them was when I imagined them as a different story completely. And yes that first one was pretty bad all around.
What's with bad adaptations of books to movies?
I don't know. It always feels like they try to change things about the story and it never works. Like the Percy Jackson movie for example... Worst movie ever
The what? It never happened. I refuse to believe it.
I like how you think. Erase it from history
And Eragon. Never happened.
Also true. Those books had such great source material and they threw it all away for some action and bad special effects.
I know! They had a script practically already made for them and the messed up! HOW?!
They much have been on some strong drugs or something...
Or they were told they couldn't follow the story they paid to have rights to make.
Possibly true as well
Makes total sense. And the Last Airbender movie? What happened there?
Oh don't even get me started. Ruined my childhood! So so awful all around.
It made no sense! How did they think it was similar at all to the series? It's a good thing they can't make anymore.
Absolutely crazy. If you had to pick a fictional world to live in, which one would you choose?
... Avatar, the Last Airbender... What about you?
I think I would have to choose Harry Potter. I would love to have magic abilities. But avatar would probably be a close second honestly.
That's a close second, but I think I'd be a Muggle. With my luck.
You know what I probably would be too.  So that wouldn't be fun if that was the case... But under those circumstances I probably wouldn't be a bender either.
Hmmm... I'd like to think that it's more likely for people to bend than be magical in their respective worlds. A lot of people could bend in Avatar.
True. But have you seen Legend of Korra? It's not that large of a number compared to the whole population. So probably more than the number of wizards/witches to muggles, but still a small number
I haven't watched it. I've been told it's good though.
The first season was cool, the rest was just mediocre in my opinion.
Huh. I guess I'll watch the first season some time then. I feel bad, but I have homework I should do.
It's ok. Good luck on that!
Thanks! Have a good weekend!
