2 other plants, fish or small animals. Pandas eat fast and they eat a lot. They spend about 12 hours a day doing it. Pandas are extremely endangered today. There are only about 600 of these black- and-white bears in the wild and a hundred in captivity.

Can I ask you how often you read fiction books? Charlie: Very often. I usually read about one book a week, sometimes more if I'm away on vacation. Interviewer: Now then, next question. What three categories of books do you prefer to read? Charlie: Hmm, let me think. I absolutely love crime books, you know Agatha Christie, a good whodunit. I am also keen on science fiction books such as Arthur C. Clark and Asimov. And then, recently I've read a lot of Westerns. Interviewer: Fine. How much do you think you spend on fiction books every month? Charlie: Not very much because I get a lot of my books from friends when they have finished reading them. Probably around $50. Interviewer: OK, now the next question is about where you buy your books, if you don't get them from your friends of course. Do you spend most of your money on books in stores or on the Internet? Charlie: As I said, I don't buy books very often but when I do, I buy them online or sometimes I go to a bookstore if I see something interesting in the window.

Would you buy a book from the Regal Bookstore web site? We have a new site, did you know? Charlie: No, I didn't know. I will go and have a look at it as you have some good prices.
