Too bad people don't read so many books anymore. Libraries are more rarely visited and books remain on the shelves.
We find ourselves in some books; many times, books reflect actions of our lives or even our personality; others are comic, cops, fantasy, psychological books or simply reflect a true thing, a true event.
Some pieces of advise:
