I wrote titles on strips of paper, Books that I planned on reading, On my shelf that contained one empty shelve, I rolled them into ***** And threw them into the cup, Shaking up the titles, I get a Mo Yan. Then I get a Charles Dickens, The paper ***** get reshuffled again. I pick again, it’s Mo Yan. The third time, it’s Mo Yan READ ME, HE YELLS. His short stories were read, a few months ago. Chinese folktale like stories, With satire of Modern China. But none of his novels, were touched. In one of them, The bookmark stops at 300.

Cup of Titles
I wrote titles on strips of paper, Books that I planned on reading, On my shelf that contained one empty shelve, I rolled them into ***** And threw them into the cup, Shaking up the titles, I get a Mo Yan. Then I get a Charles Dickens, The paper ***** get reshuffled again. I pick again, it’s Mo Yan. The third time, it’s Mo Yan READ ME, HE YELLS. His short stories were read, a few months ago. Chinese folktale like stories, With satire of Modern China. But none of his novels, were touched. In one of them, The bookmark stops at 300.
For those people who have too many unread books.
