Has He? Or Hasn’t He?

About a month ago my husband bought a paperback book by a popular writer. I won’t share the writer with you for spoiler purposes, but the author churns out books one right after another. A few of them have been made into movies, and most of them have the same hero.

When my husband put the book in the shopping cart I said to him: “Haven’t you read that book already?”

He didn’t think so.

But then as he started to read it he began to wonder – Maybe he had he read this book before?

Then again – Maybe not.

And so it went. He’d be reading, and then he’d put it down and say to me: “I can’t tell yet if I’ve read this book.”

He’s now past the halfway mark, and the hero just died.

The hero just died.

And as he’s telling me this all I can think to say to him is:  ”I think now is a good time to determine if you’ve read it before or not. Don’t you?”
