I don't think i fully understand the ending of the book. I think it is incomplete and i am confused about a couple of things. I did however like the part about the library and hearing all the different readers speak about they way they read. It is interesting to see that not everyone reads the same way and that most people read in their own ways to help them get the most out of the stories. my questions are: 1. why didnt the reader just go to the library in the first place, rather than search the country himself? and 2. are the titles or all his stories the begining of a whole other story which he has not yet read?
