An Open Book

An open book gives you access to no more than two pages at a time, the rest is to be found in its following pages; similar to when the book is closed with only access to the front and back cover. Though the figure of speech “I’m an open book” implies a lot, it actually doesn't mean much, does it?

I forgot about kindles, that's a good one.

'im an open book'
its a trap

True

It can also be part of a trilogy, in which case..how much do you really get out of the open book itself? You get a frozen moment in time as it relates to its pages.

There are only two pages in the open book.. 😉

Exactly, whether closed or open, it's always two pages deep, in both cases you have to take it a step further to know more about the book.

Tbf, if it's closed you only have 1 page in front of you - either the cover or the back, assuming the book lies on a table horizontally. To have both pages deep with the book being closed, you'd need to make an action to turn the book. If you see both covers simultaneously...is it closed or open?



^looks open to me, facing down.

I didn't have a table in my mind when saying that, It was more in reference to cover vs content of a book. I could be wrong but the figure of speech implies that an open book has nothing to hide. My argument is whether you're looking at the cover (front and back) when it's closed or inside when it's opened, it's still two pages of information that you'll have to inquire further on, if you're interested in wanting to know more.

I know, that was my first reply.

I just got into thinking about books in detail.

Blank pages are cool too.

Also might be written in a different language so I'm standing there staring like "Wut?"

In that scenario 2 pages or zero pages... same stuff.

ugh, the virgo is strong in me today.

lol ... there's a story in blank pages too you know?

It's like when someone stares at you with a blank face.

Eh. my sarcasm will fill that story nicely. All in good humor though.
