My name is Jamison. I am allergic to nuts.  I listen to country music while I read. My favorite book is 1984. I love books.  I am a biology major.
I do not like Italian food. I do not like country or jazz music. I listen to music at the gym.  My favorite book is Middlesex.
I read began to read Middlesex.  Really? Please tell me what you thought about it. I'm liking it so far.  The author also wrote one of my favorite books, The Virgin Suicides.  It's also a movie now, have you ever seen it? Yes, that's one of my favorite movies, and I liked the book too. I really enjoy everything by that author.  I have to ask, did you like the book or movie better?  I think I might have to go with the book, but I think they did a really great job with the movie! That's a very difficult question. I think the book might be just a bit better, since it gives the author more space to elaborate on some of the ideas in the story. But the movie was a very good adaptation. Yeah, I totally agree.  Do you ever read while you're at the gym, or just listen to music mostly?   I've tried reading at the gym before, but I get lots of looks from the other people there. They must think I'm a big nerd or something, so I mostly just listen to music when I'm at the gym. But sometimes I sneak in an audiobook so that I don't have to deal with their judgment.  Oh, that's a great idea!  I didn't even think about audio books.  I was just thinking there aren't many exercises/machines where it would be possible to hold a book and still workout.  I like to read when I ride the stationary bikes. How do you manage to keep your balance while holding the book on the bike? The gym attendant once yelled at me when he saw me doing that. He said they didn't want to have to pay if I fell off the bike and smacked my head on the floor! But I later realized it probably wasn't a very good idea for me to try anyway. I usually use one hand to hold the book, and one hand to hold onto the handlebar.  It doesn't seem that difficult to me, but maybe we're trying it on different types of bikes.  I'm glad no one has yelled at me about it yet! Well as long as you can do it safely, good for you! But I find it much easier to concentrate on an audiobook while I'm exercising. I think it'd be good for you to try one too. There's even a great audiobook version of MIddlesex that I could send you.
