#Person1#: Excuse me, I'm looking for a good novel. Can you recommend anything?
#Person2#: Certainly. What kind of novel did you have in mind?
#Person1#: I'm not really sure. I don't like romance novels, but any other genre is okay, as long as the book's good.
#Person2#: Well, let me see. . . This Stephen King novel is a real thriller.
#Person1#: Sorry, I forgot to mention that I don't like horror much, either.
#Person2#: That's okay. Well, let me think. How about a mystery novel?
#Person1#: Hmm. . . I sometimes like mysteries, but I don't think I'm in the mood for one right now.
#Person2#: There are a number of science fiction and fantasy novels I can recommend.
#Person1#: I love science fiction and fantasy, but I've been reading a lot of both lately, so I'd prefer to get something else.
#Person2#: How about a good historical novel? This one set in medieval France is excellent. The story is exciting and the characterization is very well done.
#Person1#: That sounds interesting. Okay, I'll get this one. Thanks for all your help.
#Person2#: Don't mention it.
#Person1#'s looking for a novel. Since #Person1# doesn't want horror and mysteries and has been reading science fiction and fantasy novels recently, #Person2# recommends a historical novel and #Person1# will get this one.
