Books Don'T Kill People, People Do

On the first day I shall give you a book,
A great book.
In return, do not make this book, my book,
The last,
The greatest,
Or the only book.

Consume as many books as you can;
They will not make you fat.
Don’t be faddy;
This will make you too thin of mind.

If you declare my book,
Or any book,
The last, 
The greatest,
Or the only book,
You most definitely need more books.

I saw 100 Farenheit and read Blindness of Elias Canetti. You are also a fascinating book.
