we think that mr. barush has a story to tell. we plan to publish his story.” when asked why he didnt return the books, mr. barush said, “well, how could i? they became family to me. i was afraid to return them, because i knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew them up, throw them around, tear the pages, spill soda on them, get jam and jelly on them, and drown them in the toilet.” he continued, “books are people, too! they talk to you, they take care of you, and they enrich you with wisdom, humor and love. a book is a guest in my home. how could i kick it out?
