So she says she sees people when she's travelling, on cruises, on the beach, etc. reading. She said, " I never even think about reading when I'm travelling, and I'm a teacher. And I always wondered why those people were reading."

I said "What people?". she said, "White people".


Why would you ask "What people?" when she just told you who she saw reading?

Sounds odd and unnatural. Need to rework this one a bit to make it more believable.

She gave it the old 'those people' I merely asked for clarification.

I love to read but never understood people who read at the beach when they could be bodysurfing, making kick arse sand sculptures, and crushing BLLs

White dude: "When's the last time you read a book?"

Black dude: "Never, muthafugga!"

Kudos. You could start with reading books at a nicer restaurant. Maybe a little Hemingway at Hooters
