Well, your choice is quite
limited. Either READING ROOM or CATALOGUE. In the reading your choice
will be even more limited since there is only one book available.
Only one and not entire. This book is neither damaged nor torn into
pieces, nor it is ancient and excavated as a part of something bigger
and more bulky. No. This book has not been finished yet. Or maybe
even this book is infinite. An infinite book. It sounds much better
than just not finished book. A not finished infinite book? A
redundancy. An exaggeration. Although quite suspicious and
provocative. Why this book in particular and not the other one? This
book, if it only wanted, could be a basic book, a fundamental book,
the-first-and-the-only book, a source of all inspiration, a founding
document, an endless set of references, and so on. Of course for
Liberland. But it doesn't want to be so. Because in such case it
would have to be limited and finished. Heavy, massive, oppressively
large, like a monument stone, like a tomb stone, while it prefers to
be unlimited, opened, torn, ragged, scattered, like a swarm of
butterflies, like a golden fog over the meadow . . . . . . interesting - I have never seen any golden fog, nor a goldish one,
nor even gilded – fogs are always silver or silverish or silvered
or silver-white or grey-white – but maybe a fog can be gold, maybe
it happens from time to time, you need to watch the world around you
more carefully, extremely carefully . . . . . . . In the case of the
catalogue you will have no choice at all. And even if you make a
choice, then you will choose at most a vision, a delusion, a book
that does not exist. A book that nobody has written, nobody has
reviewed and described. A book that was not invented to pretend a
real book since a fictional character can not write a real book. This
is the catalogue of the imagined books. Of the books that will be
written – that maybe will be written – provided they can be
written – it may happen at least some of them can not be written -
- - - - So, maybe it should be the catalogue of the impossible books.
Impossible books sounds better than delusion books. Delusions are
quite real and possible. And usually have very bad opinion – they
must be dark, tenebrous, gloomy, overpowering, pushing someone into
the abyss, plunging into a cruel madness – while they, the books,
can be bright and light, can be a swarm of golden honey bees - - - -
