I believe Books 9,16,19 and 20, we didn’t read them because rather, they talk about stories, and past experiences, as the Master gives his opinion on them (this can be seen mainly in Book 9 and at the end of Book 16).
Book 9 seems to be more focused on what is happening to the disciples instead of what the Master is saying. The Master falls ill, therefore leaving the disciple (Zilu) somehow ‘superior’, in charge of him (9.12).
Book 19 is different because it is somehow a summary of what has been mentioned before in other Books, and this time, being mentioned by disciples (Zixia, Ziyou) rather than the Master.
