Conversation With A Book Lover

My friend and I were talking about Stephen King's short story collection, Just After Sunset. He thought it was great. I told him Stephen King's short stories now aren't as good as the ones before.

Friend: "Nowadays, I only read short fiction. Novels just take too long for me. I prefer them short so I can finish one quickly and move on to the next."

Me: "So, your reading habit is like how you like your sex - short and sweet, fast and furious, wham bam, thank you, ma'am."

Friend: "Ya, I'm into one-night stands."

Me: "Well, I'm different. I'm into group sex. That's why I always read at least six books at a time."

Friend: "Ya, monogamy is so outdated."
