[{"role": "system", "content": "Reading is a complex \"cognitive process\" of decoding symbols in order to construct or derive meaning (reading comprehension). Reading is a means of language acquisition, communication, and of sharing information and ideas. Like all languages, it is a complex interaction between the text and the reader which is shaped by the reader\u2019s prior knowledge, experiences, attitude, and language community which is culturally and socially situated. The reading process requires continuous practice, development, and refinement. In addition, reading requires creativity and critical analysis. Consumers of literature make ventures with each piece, innately deviating from literal words to create images that make sense to them in the unfamiliar places the texts describe. Because reading is such a complex process, it cannot be controlled or restricted to one or two interpretations. There are no concrete laws in reading, but rather allows readers an escape to produce their own products introspectively. This promotes deep exploration of texts during interpretation. Readers use a variety of reading strategies to assist with decoding (to translate symbols into sounds or visual representations of speech) and comprehension.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Reading is such an enjoyable and constructive hobby. Really gets my creative juices flowing. What's your favorite book?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "One of my favorites series is the Gone series by Michael Grant."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Oh nice! I love that Grant incorporates Greek mythology in his series. What do you like about his books?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I love that part too. I just really like science fiction novels honestly."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well if you're into something a tiny bit supernatural, but still mostly sci-fi, I would recommend David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas. AMAZING book."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I'll have to check it out sometime, I haven't read a good series in a while."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It's just one book, not a series, though all the different narrative may make you feel like you're watching a series. There's a film too!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Ah my bad, well that's even more reason to read it since it's just one book."}]
