The Books that are yet to be Written

What books do you want to read?

Are there too many books out there? I don’t suppose anyone has ever counted how many books there are for every person on the planet. I will have to hypothesise with a simple number .A hundred.

Suppose there was a benevolent global law that said you had to read your chosen 100 books in your lifetime and sit down and discuss each book with a renowned teacher of your native language at a designated time.

For some, this would be a harsh law, compulsory reading,and debate. A waste of time,they would have better things to do, for most though it would be a lifeline into a World that in their day to day grind they had no chance to visit.

The affirmation that the World would care about their opinion on a book that they had read,that there would be a discussion,that there may be other alternatives they had not considered,that their thoughts and their words mattered.Surely that is why books exist.

So,the books I want to read are those that have not yet been written. For we need writers as much as books.

Good,bad,indifferent,we need people to express themselves, and what better way to do it than in writing?

A book can turn into so many things,it’s influence may be negligible or far-reachingA book can be loved, hated, or, I feel, the most dangerous fate treated with derision by scholars.

Have you read a book and thought this author is just going through the motions.

There is no soul in the book,they are showing off their prowess in language, and the thought process regarding the story is not original or they use sex or violence in a gratuitous manner . I have.I can smell a half-hearted effort at writing with each word.

On the other hand, I have soared with some writers, and it is a wonderful feeling.

I’m not on the lookout for the next best thing,but I am on the lookout for something that brings writing and stories forward.

The books I want to read are those with no title yet , they are yet to be written.
