Have you watched Game of Thrones before? I haven't.
I haven't either, but I heard it's really popular, I think it's based on a book?
Apparently it is based on "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R. R. Martin. Does he have any other books?
I think so, but I'm not positive. I've heard he takes a really long time to write his books.
Wow, he took six years to write his most recent book. Is that the last book in the series? 
I don't know, I'm not really well-versed on George R.R. Martin, what do you know about him?
I don't know much either. He was born on September 20th, 1948, and writes a lot of fantasy, horror, and sci-fi.
Oh he's almost the same age as my father, do you know what his first book was, or his first popular book?
His first popular short story was named "The Hero" and was published in 1971. 
Oh interesting, what is the plot of The Hero if you know?
