Books

All the books in the world (...)

How many books must you read
To come to know everything?
All the books in the world?
Or just half of them?

Not all books tell the truth
Some lie, others invent new worlds
Maybe it’s not good to learn
Truths from other worlds
Maybe it’s not good to know
Truths from this world, even

And yet, who can tell me
How many books you must read
To come to know everything?
