there is a book

taken from The End of Mr. Y by Scarlett Thomas, page 55

"wonder if life is as simple as 'there is a book'. But again i think about stories and their logic and wonder if there can be any such thing as simply 'there is a book'. Once upon a time there was a book. That makes more sense. And then what happens? There was a book and it contains a curse and then you read it and then you die. There a proper story"

if only life was as simple as a book. then i shall write a story of a life time, but then again any life story can be claimed as the story of a life time since all of us only lived once. Sometimes i really wonder.
