The theory on my part is to read reading is the answer. Read anything that you can get your hands on. I would try to make sure that the author has something to say. Take a wide selection of authors old, new, prose, poets, novels, epics, and all that stuff. .. Think about it and find something to talk about.

I could throw an act, I can tell jokes and try to be stimulating, I can organize the books. If you don't want to do it, I can't do anything about it.
