Book Collection, Anyone?


What do you fancy most in a book?
What intrigues or piques for a second look?
Autobiographical, allegorical?
Fantasy-based? Historical?
Books with lessons, books with humor?
Medical texts--from angina to tumor?
Mystery, adventure, fables, folklore?
What kinds of books do you adore?
Would you say you're a children's book buff,
Or in favor of more grown-up stuff?
Perhaps, like most folks, it's a mix,
(Paddington, Jane Austen, Garth Nix),
An eclectic combo of reads--
Dependent on your whims and needs
Whether reading for fun or for learning,
Book-collecting's an "anyone" yearning
