Reluctant Summaries

You know when someone tells you that they're reading a really great book? And they expect you to say something in return, when in reality, you don't care? In my experience, you can do one of two things: a) say "O RLY? That's cool" and turn around (which apparently gives them a cue to launch into the longest summary you've ever heard) or you can b) ignore them.
Either way, there are consequences because well, if you ignore them, they'll probably annoy you, until you're interested, or launch into the summary without waiting for your answer. In cases like this, I wish people would keep their summaries to themselves. I mean, if the book was so good I would have read it by now. You can recommend me books but I can't promise that I'll read them. What can I say? I don't read and tell.
Until next time, Cheemo!
