Post 2: What is a book?

A book to me is like a journey. A book comes in all different sizes. A book can be about anything you can possibly imagine. It can be about how to put a car together to how the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred. As cool as the book seams they can be  good or bad if you are reading about something that interests you, you can read for hours at a time and look up at the clock a few hours later and have no idea you just read a book for two hours. When you have a bad book that is boring to you reading one page can feel like hours. Its all about the book you are reading.

I personally like to read fiction books. Any book that has little to do with the world we live in the better. I love to sit and read a book about made up characters who live in worlds with strange rules and people with crazy powers. Those books are in my wheelhouse I can read one of those books for hours before I get hungry or bored. When I read a book I like to read a paper copy . When I read on a electronic device I usually get a headache so a normal book suits me perfectly. Unlike other people I don't care for nonfiction books. I would prefer to read a quick summary about someone's life then read a five hundred page book about their life. If I had to read a nonfiction book It would likely be about a sporting event or maybe a war of some sorts.

In a argument I would go with keeping the books and stop switching all of them to electronic copy's. As it said in the article books can be precious to some I feel when I have a hard copy of the book I know I can access it whenever I want I can walk in my room and pick it up off the shelf and read it. Reading from a digital copy just isn't the same. I think e-books is a good idea but what happens if your Kindle or Nook runs out of battery or stops working? You can't read your book then. A book doesn't require a charge and requires a little care but in the end no matter how you are reading a book holds a story of something real or fake.
