why books are better than people

1. they dont hide any secrets. you can look in the inside and learn everything there is to know
2. they dont require anything from you except maybe an occasional dusting
3. if you dont like them, you can return them without any hassle
4. you dont have to get dressed up to spend an evening with a good book
5. they may occasionally get misplaced, but they never leave you of their own accord
6. if things get too scary or start moving too fast, you can simply slam the cover shut
7. the only pain they inflict are minor paper cuts or a slight crick in the neck
8. they cant talk back
