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?”
