A:除了历史的书,你喜欢读什么 你喜欢其他的书嗎?历史书 = history books 历史的书 = historical books
(Besides history books, what other books do you like to read?)

B:特别 尤其是关于历史的书。Here's another way of saying history books.上个星期,我去了 在图书馆里看书, 有人建议我读 看「孙子兵法」。也许我 也应该读看看吧这本书?
(Particularly history books. Last week I went to the library, someone suggested that I read Sun Tzu Zhou's "The Art of War"). Maybe I should read this book too?)

A:可以 啊, 不过辞语但是"兵法"是用古文写的, 所以太 因此难读。Don't use 太 or 很 because it implies that the person's command of the language is not good enough.
(You could, but "The Art of War" is written in ancient Chinese, so it's very difficult.)

B: 没事。无訪試試看. This way is better, 无訪/沒问题 sounds like you are bragging. 沒事 = no problem is not appropriate in this situation. No bad event had happened. An appropriate example would be, if you got a cut on the finger, and you say 沒事.
(No problem.)

A: 您一定对中文感 很有兴趣 啊吧。。
(You must be very interested in Chinese literature then, no?)

B: 是的!
(I am!)
