what's your favorite book? 

Jane Eyre, hands down. 

Charlotte Brontë is my favorite writer. 

why? 

i KNEW you'd say something like that

you seem like someone into classics

i have to read this whole list of books before school starts

i had a feeling your favorite book would be on it 

i don't know if i should take that as an insult or not 

what else is on the list? 

the great gatsby, tale of two cities, moby dick, etc. 

all the really boring ones

no, all the really good ones! 

they're classics for a reason, you know. 

i don't think they should be classics

i like reading, but i do not like reading these books

i guess i'll start with jane eyre, though. 

yes, of course start with jane eyre! 

that book is perfect

i don't know if perfect is the right word but 

i'll give it a chance

you only have a month and a half to read all those books? 

actually, less than half now. 

well actually we were supposed to start reading them in may.. 

i read a single page of the great gatsby and then stopped

i'm realizing now i should probably read at least one before the school year starts

i can't believe you waited the whole summer

procrastinating is my strong suit 

actually, starting before the last day of summer is super impressive for me

i'm a do everything last minute sort of person 

i'm a do everything as fast as possible sort of person 

it seems way too stressful to wait. 

i don't stress too much about it 

i probably seem like the stereotypical jock, huh? 

honestly? not at all. 

i don't think the stereotypical jock would like to read. 

you're right

you're much cooler than the stereotypical jock. 

at least in my opinion. 

really? 

aww jovy i'm honored

i think that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me
