Expressing Encouragement

Indah   : Hi, Tuti, what are you reading??

Tuti      : I'm reading 'Layla Majnun'. What a romantic but tragic story!

Indah   : Oh no, I know you like romantic but tragic stories. Didn't you just read 'Salah Asuhan' before?

Tuti      : Yes, but I love these stories. They are written by marveolus writters, too.

Indah   : I will fall asleep if I read those kind of novels. I hate reading. Also, those books are too heavy for me to read.

Tuti      : Come on, Indah... you need to read. Maybe you should start reading novels with lighter subjects and language.

Indah   : Is there any?

Tuti      : Yes, of course. Why don't you start reading some chicklit or teenlit?? They are very populer right now. Try to read 'Brownies' by Fiira Basuki or Tentang Dia' by Melly Goeslaw for a start.

Indah   : Oh yeah. That's true. I want to read their novels.

Tuti      : See, how you get interested in reading. Why don't you just read about a subject that you like first?? Since you like to go shopping, why don't you read 'The Confession of a Shopaholic', for example?

Indah   : Hahahahahaha.. All right. I will read some teenlit or chicklit for a start.
