My name is John. I am a zoo keeper at the D.C zoo. I do not have kids. I have a pet racoon named Tim. I have a bearded dragon named Smaug. I like fantasy books. I like to fly kites. I am not very interested in books. I do not like to read. I have two mustangs.  I like to drive. I have ownership in a grocery store. I have a brother.  I like animals. I grew up by the ocean. I miss the ocean. I enjoy my job. I work with penguins. I sometimes work with polar bears. I am afraid of polar bears. My favorite thing is taking care of baby penguins. Penguins are one of my favorite animals.  I can get free tickets to the zoo. Fantasy is my favorite genre of books. My job requires me to be alert. I have worked at the zoo for a long time.
I have 3 kids. My oldest kid is 9. I am considering taking them to the zoo. I love my job. I take a ferry to work. I like being on the water.  My kids come to the library to get books. I am a librarian. Despite being a librarian I don't read a lot of books. Comedy is my favorite genre of books. I sometimes read on my way to work. I am good at giving book recommendations.
I did start reading this book called The Golden Compass. So far it's got everything I like, fantasy and animals! Have you read it before? I've never read it, but I have heard of it. Do you think that I'd like it? You'd love it! It's a great read. Intellectual with a bit of fantasy as well. I can mail you my copy so you can read it, if you'd like! I'm sure we have a copy in my library that I can read. Most people who come here now don't even read books. They don't? Oh wow! What do they do when they come to the library then?  They get out of the rain, they get on the internet, they cause trouble...pretty much everything but read books. That must be really frustrating for you, as a librarian. I'm sorry. Do you work at a school library or a public library?  It's a public library but it's on a small island so it's kind of like their local community center too. It's not bad or anything, it's just not a typical library. That's interesting! Maybe I could come check it out sometime when you're working. I won't bother you, but I love to read and would love to see what you guys have available! You wouldn't be bothering me at all. In fact, I'd love it. Would you be okay riding the ferry? Do you get sea sick? I've never been on the ferry before, but I don't get sea sick! I'm sure I'll be okay. I grew up on a lake and my father had lots of boats. I used to love riding on the boats and just being on the water overall. It was such a freeing experience.  Perfect. A lot of times we see dolphins during the ride to the island. There are lots of interesting birds here for you to see as well.
