How Do You Judge A Book??

Don't judge a book by its cover... i have always stayed by this proverb and gave eveything a chance before i judge if it is good or bad... or somewhere in the middle... but these days i have discovered that judging a book after reading it may not be right either... you may like some books just after reading a few pages, but then as the storyline progresses, it may become boring or uninteresting... there are some books which are very interesting right up to the very last word, but after some time after you finished the book, you realise that the storyline is just ordinary...
The fact is, no matter how sophisticated the cover... no matter how captivating the storyline... no matter how well you preserve a book... its cover will fade... its pages will turn yellow... and its story lost among all our other memories... or maybe its just that as everyday passes by... we become more mature and gain more experiences... in the end... the magic that captivated us when reading a book just does not seem real anymore... you realise that what the author tried to portray are just lies... no such thing will happen in real life... so now... the book is worthless...
Throw it away... u can't... keep it... u can't either... what should you do??Do you feel like tearing the pages off?Shredding it into a million pieces... or more...Erasing all the words which formed nothing but lies....
How nice if the world are like books...Tear what you don't like...Burn what you don't want to see...Drown what you don't want to hear...
Don't judge a book by its cover...or its contents...Then what can you judge??
