What is a Book?

Books are imagination. You, as a reader, complete the book. The idea is given but the creation of the world in your eyes is dependent on you and how you interpret the book. The eBook doesn’t give you the feel of the book. It can hurt your eyes and you never get the feel of the paper that the books are made of. You don’t get to feel what the book is made up of. I personally like the physical book to hold onto. I get to feel what the author went through to publish it. The weight of the book helps you understand that every word that the author wrote was in your hand. With a kindle you don't get that feeling of the weight of the hardships to write the book. I don’t mind the e-readers but I would like to have the actual thing in front of me. My imagination goes wild when the authors don’t describe a setting or character fully, because it gives me a chance to imagine them in my mind. Books help you escape from reality. Every time I read I always lose track of time. The literal definition for a book is a a handwritten or printed work of fiction or nonfiction, usually on sheets of paper fastened or bound together within covers. But, book can take us on a journey or an adventure. Many books take us on a journey. The books that I have enjoyed and have been very engaging are Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and other fantasy novels. When I read the books, I get to immerse myself and sometimes get lost in the world I finish the book too fast for my own good. I read to clear my head, and to get away from stress at school and all other places that give me stress.
