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)

Answer

Could just mean the book is so heavy and big, if you use it to swing and hit the mosquito it will not survive as it will be killed by the size and weight of the HR book.

Answer

I agree with Mel. It sounds like it's a huge book, and the writer is making a joke about how it could easily kill an insect.
