Reading
- What are you reading, Linda?
- I’m reading a novel The Mill On The Floss, written by the famous novelist, George Eliot.
- What’s it about?
- It is mainly about the relationship between a brother and a sister, who live in a mill on river Floss. It describes their childhood and a dispute that causes them to separate. The book ends with them happily together again, but they were both killed in the flood.
- Is it difficult to understand?
- Not really, I would consider it easy.
- Besides novels, are there any other types of literary works that you indulge in?
- I really like short stories.
- Have you read anything else besides literature?
- Certainly I have. I like to read books on various subjects, and I read everything I can get my hands on in my spare time. I don’t want to idle away and waste my time.
- I agree. People who don’t read are no better off than people who can’t read. I also agree that “Books are like food for the mind”.
