Post 2: What Is A Book

     A book is an escape from reality. I believe that a book is an escape from reality because a book helps you to learn almost anything like history, math, science or imagine things you could never see in real life especially in science fiction and fantasy novels. Books are important because of the story inside of them and the message the author is trying to say. I think Joe Meno describes all this well on his opinions on what a book is. Some authors on similar subjects were talking about if a book read on an electronic device was the same as a regular book. I think it is the same, as long as it's the same story that the author originally wrote I believe it is all the same. Opinions may be different and some people may like a hard copy of a book rather than an electronic version but to me it doesn't matter.

Why I Read

     One reason why I read is because it's fun, it lets you imagine a new story that you can enjoy and have a good time with. I think the books that are the most fun for me to read are sci-fi and fantasy books. Reading is also fun because even though the words tell you what the story is like you can also imagine a lot of it for yourself.
      Another reason why I read is because it can help you learn about new things. I read many books especially in school to help me learn for each class like we did with Romeo and Juliet for English. To learn about a subject in depth it is helpful to read a lot about it in books.
      Another reason why I like to read is because I really like fiction, especially sci-fi and fantasy books because they help me to imagine new places and things that I will never get to see in real life.
      The last reason why I read is because it helps me discover classic literature and this can also help you to see what the past looked like and I think that is interesting to learn about.
