Conversation 2

Man: What are you reading?

Woman: A history book about the Mayans. I just started it, though.

Man: Oh cool! I just watched a documentary about them. It was fascinating.

Woman: Yeah, I learned about them in college so this book piqued my interest.

Man: Is it any good?

Woman: So far so good. I already learned a few things I didn’t know.

Man: Well, can I borrow it when you are finished?

Woman: I would, but I borrowed it from the library.

Man: Ah, got it. I’ll try to check it out then.
