Excuse me? Can I help you with something?
No, I'm fine thank you. Just looking for a good book to read.
Oh, that's great! Have you found anything interesting yet?
Not really, I'm kind of picky when it comes to books.
Oh, I totally understand. It can be hard to find something that catches your eye. What kinds of things do you usually like to read?
I'm more into mystery and thriller novels. Something with a lot of suspense and drama.
Oooh, I love those too! Have you ever tried any books by Stephen King or Agatha Christie? They're both great authors in that genre.
Actually, yes I have! I love Stephen King's writing style. He just has this way of drawing you into the story and keeping you on the edge of your seat. And of course, who can forget Agatha Christie and her famous detective Hercule Poirot? She always keeps me guessing until the very end.
Wow, we have pretty similar tastes in books then! Maybe I'll check out some of those authors if you recommend them so highly. Speaking of recommendations, do you happen to know any good mystery novels that are currently popular or worth reading?
Well, one book that has been getting a lot of attention lately is "The Silent Patient" by Alex Michaelides. It's a psychological thriller about a woman who becomes silent after witnessing the death of her husband, and the therapist who tries to uncover the truth behind what happened. It's a really gripping read that will keep you guessing until the very end.
Oh, I haven't heard of that one but it sounds fascinating! I might have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
