Dear Editor,
My
friend had a “dirty book” as he describes it, placed on the shelf at the local
library. I then assumed I would have no trouble at all placing my book there. But
placing my book there has been most difficult and annoying. Finally, after
waiting six months I have a copy on the shelf. This is after the first copy was
thrown away by Mrs. Jacki Gross. Only after months of checking and finally
demanding that they show me the first copy, they admitted they had thrown it
out. After many attempts to intimidate me, Mrs. Jacki Gross, finally placed a
second copy of my book on the shelf.
But
wait its not that simple! She is a cleaver woman. Certainly she is no body to
be messed with in what she thinks should go on a shelf for your reading pleasure.
I bet if you think about it a little you could put a book on the shelf in the
library in such a way that its content would never be discovered. Mrs. Gross
said that she would have to review my book for two and one half more months before
she could determine if it was fit for the reading public in
As
of
Mrs. Gross provided three subjects under my
book when you find it by exact title or exact author. Two of the new categories
she developed for my book yield the following message, “Sorry, no other items
found using that term.” The two categories that report the “sorry” response are
“Occultism—Religious aspects—Christianity” and “Unidentified flying
objects—Christianity.” The other subject provided under my book for further
study and research is entitled “Human-alien encounters.” This category has a
total of 10 books including my own, six of which are fiction books, two are
children’s books and one other non-fiction book entitled “Invaders from Outer
Space.” But I happen to know there are lots of books in that library that will
ultimately destroy people. Yet my book can give them a ground to resist these
falsehoods, yet who will find it? This is a sad thought. So not only do I
suffer but others as well.
So, I
concede to Mrs. Gross at the Seguin Guadalupe County Library. She wins by
superior cleverness. My book’s on the shelf alright, but where no one will ever
find it, unless of course, I send them over there with the title and the
author’s name. You might want to do a search of my book title or my name on the
World Wide Web and you can read the whole story of the ugly reception I have
gotten from the Seguin Guadalupe County Library and my attempts to go public
with the false sociological equilibrium we live under. I suggest you use the
google.com search engine. But what I really want to know is why do we have to
be so clever? Are there that many authors is Seguin, Texas that we can’t just
stick all their books in there?
Sincerely,
Ronald
