Discussing literature at our house

Actual conversation, verbatim, regarding The Echo Maker by Richard Powers:

Patrick: "You might like this book, actually."

Me: "I might like this book, the same one that's been boring you to tears?"

Patrick: "Yes, but he's got a bunch of stuff in there about brain damage and mental health that would probably be interesting to you. I'm not into that kind of thing; I'm looking for a story."

Me: "You're not into mental health?"

Patrick: "It's overrated."
