Do all books need a moral?

First of all, let's limit the question to "Do all stories need a moral?" since there are a lot of instruction manuals, etc. that are issued in book form.

I would say the answer is no. Dramatic stories need a main character, who will face problems and setbacks. I don't think there always has to be a moral, i.e. a specific lesson to be learned. Some stories, e.g. biographies, trace what actually happened to a person. You can find out a lot about someone without there having to be a moral.

The structure of a story with a moral often revolve around someone doing something they shouldn't. When harmful consequences befall that person, we learn the lesson, e.g. crimed doesn't pay. To make it interesting, often the person who does the wrong thing initially benefits, but ultimately has to pay the price.

Stories like that can be engaging and fun, but I'd hate it if every story had to be that way.
