Recommend a book
Sub-topic: Genres of books.
When we enjoy something, we share our passions with friends or family and we can have a dicuss about it. Reading is the perfect example of these situations.
Example:
Yui: Oh, hey Reiji, I didn't know you are here at the manor library. What are you searching for?
Reiji: Oh, dear Yui. I'm not here for something special, just my daily dracula biography reading. You know I just can't put it down.
Yui: Oh yeah, I know, it's a real page turner.
Reiji: How about you? It's a surprise to see you here.
Yui: Oh don't mind me, I'm juuust ehm I'll just browse something interesting here. You know, it's a big library so I'm just keep going hehe. See you later.
Reiji: Wait! I know you're on something, I know you very well... Confess.
Yui: Waaaa, I'm sorry, I didn't want to hide something for you but you caught me. I just can't seem to get into the thriller books you said the other day, they just aren't my thing, so I came to give them back at their bookshelves. And I had shame to tell you, I know you enjoy reading and you can't get enough of books. Sniff*
Reiji: Oh Yui, you don't need to cry, it's fine dear. Here, what about search for something you like and we read it together? Sorry if I didn't ask you before.
Yui: Don't worry, I understand, I'm better now, thanks. Spending time with you always makes me happy.
Reiji: I'm glad, so what would you like to read?
Yui: Hmmmm let's see... What about... romance books?
Reiji: (Oh no, those put me to sleep, they're my only weakness in my passion for reading, but I'll do it for her)
Yui: Reiji?
Reiji: Oh hahaha well if it's what your heart desires, I will gladly do it.
Yui: u/////w/////u
