Alfred J Bruey - Jackson, MI (USA):

This book knows it's Easter so it's wearing its new hat. It
    hopes that someone will walk with it in the Easter parade.
This book once swam the English Channel in less than three hours.
    All the water it absorbed made it grow much larger so what
    once was a collection of short stories became a collection of novels.
This book contains hundreds of lines you can say when you want
    to break up with your lover, wonderfully creative lines like "It's my
    fault, dear." and "I'm not good enough for you." and "I hate
    to leave you, but I'm being transferred to Liberia."
This book doubts some of its contents. It believes itself fo contain
    several errors. It is advertised as a non-fiction book. Does one tiny
    error turn it into a book of fiction? Ah, the moral issues
    that face an honest book.
This book is titled "You Can Tell a Book by Its Cover."
    I can't tell anything about this book by its cover, so
    is this book fiction or non-fiction?

Sarolina Shen Chang - Canton, Michigan (USA):

This is the poetry book Bai Ju Yi of Tang Dynasty wrote
    after he had read each and individual poem to the common folks
    who listened and understood. It proves that the Chinese people in
    Tang Dynasty were far more advanced in literature than we. Our
    professors had to translate every word into plain Chinese for us.
    Some of us still flunked.
This is the book the car thief didn't bother to take.
    Of course, it was not written by Bai Ju Yi. There
    were no cars in Tang Dynasty, more than 1200 years ago.
This book is the flower which only blooms once a year.
    Around 9:30 PM on that special day it'd start to open up
    to fragrant the whole room, or the whole garden, depends on where
    you live. Three hours later, it'd close up. Mission accompli.
    Just like that.
This book has no ending. The author warned after the very
    last sentence that IT IS ILLEGAL TO FINISH THIS BOOK WITHOUT
    THE PERMISSION FROM GOD.
This book teaches the blind how to read in the dark.

David Smith - Leawood,KS, Kansas (USA):

I have opened many books that smell like hot soup.
When I put it to my ear, this one sounds like its
    yelling, this one is whispering, and this black one is preaching dreams.
This one is way too violent for adults, even my age, it
    was deemed.
This is the book I read to my little sister about a

    every other book, i've read.

Katherine Borghardt - Ottawa, KS (USA):

This book is the mirror that stares back at me
in the bath
revealing, ruthless, morning scrutiny...
in the studio
unobtrusive, hidden, quick pick me up...
in the bedroom
black-framed oval, strategically placed, good therapy...
in the rearview
cracked.
This book is an optical illusion.
