I agree with that. Unread books are the graveyards of the author’s wisdom. We see Kindle books being given away free-of-cost as a promo, after the sales have dwindled off – an effort to get a little more life.

The books that are not dusted, still contain wisdom. Someone just have to open one and read. But, all librarians are not a treasure chest of knowledge. For some, it may be just another job.
