Hello native English speakers. People should read whatever they want . The books on the list may well be useful : no mosquito would survive contact with the " Essential HR Handbook ".(original) Question: What is the exact meaning of the sentence "no mosquito would survive contact with the " Essential HR Handbook." by the context of the original? I guess by using such sentence which uses the word "mosquito", the author makes a better metaphor for the fact that people should select such books to read as useful for their purpose, otherwise, people would be like a mosquito without surviving without sucking blood. Is my guess correct? (Note : Thank you very much for correction of any grammatical errors in all my writing here in English)
