Because of It




  There are other questions, too, that humans have in bookstores. Such as, as it one of those books they read to feel clever, or one of those they will pretend never to have read in order to stay looking clever? Will it make them laugh, or cry? Or will it simply force them to stare out of the window watching the tracks of raindrops? Is it a true story? Or is it a false one? Is it the kind of story that will work on their brain or one which aims for lower organs? is it one of those books that ends up acquiring religious followers or getting burned by them? Is it a book about mathematics or - like everything else in the universe - simply because of it?

  Yes, there are lots of questions. And even more books. So, so many. Humans in their typical Human way have written for too many to get through. Reading is added to that great pile of things - work, love, sexual prowess, the word they didn't say when they really needed to say them - that they are bound to feel a bit dissatisfied about.
