David looked at his grandpa's bookshelves. There were a lot of books on them, some yellowing with age. "Have you read all of these?" David asked his grandpa.
Grandpa smiled, since he always heard this question. "Most of them, yes. There may be a few here and there that I have overlooked."
"What are all of them about?" "Oh, there are a lot of kinds of books."
Grandpa pointed to the wall near the window. "Those ones there are reference books. You could learn things about fixing houses or identifying (识别) birds. I like to know a lot of things about nature and how to do things." Then Grandpa pointed to the left wall. "These ones are all science fiction (科幻小说) books, including a few I wrote."
"You wrote books?!" David was surprised. He knew Grandpa read a lot, but writing too?
David then turned to the right wall. "What are these ones?"
"Fantasy books," Grandpa answered.
"Isn't that almost the same as science fiction, since they're both make - believe?" "Not really, because science fiction is true to life; it's something that could happen someday. Fantasy, on the other hand, is all make - believe, which will never and has never been true. It's great fun to read, though."
"Can I read one of them?" Grandpa smiled and picked one. "I thought you'd ask, so I had already chosen one before you came. And you can read more if you take care of it."
David took the book from Grandpa's hands. "I'll start it right now," he said, but his stomach growled (发轰隆声). "Or maybe I can start after lunch." They both laughed.
