The book thing

So, I like reading fiction
They’re not out of the world plots
They’re actually down to earth plots
Some explore unfinished research
Some look at the ‘what if’s” of unexplained historical events
And the rest are what if things could be this way and mysteries
Why I like these is coz they put on paper a person’s mind
What they’d want to be like,
How they see things
What they think things are like
What they see around them
How and why they feel the way they do
On the level, they’re just refreshing
Quite insightful at times when they have a real world setting
Now, on that other hand
The person wants to bring out what happened the way they saw it
Or in cases in a most palatable manner
So for it to be palatable
They end up tweaking things a bit
So that people don’t get the wrong idea about who they are, about how things work
And also to ensure the book sells
Ever heard that a good story sells a book?
Well, it does
So the real life story’s gotta be good so that it’s picked off the shelf
So tweaking happens
Sometimes it’s eventual when the publisher reads the script
But I think most of the times when the person goes over their manuscript they figure that there’s a certain way that people have to understand the book
They need to bring the person on the same level, same perceptions and concepts
So tweaking happens
I just don’t tolerate lies so I avoid them
So when it’s books, I scan and see if the degree of tweaking is less than 1%
(very subjective, my world)
If it’s on the mark or below the threshold I read and so my reading is that bit wider coz I also want to know how people think when they have an audience
Just moi
Just the books I read.
My last read was Jeffery Archer’s Kane and Abel
I love his view.
