What is a book?

A book is an adventure. It creates a whole story in your mind. A book is something that you can jump into and let your imagination run wild. It lets you become a character in the book and lets you take journeys along with them. A book is a movie played within your head. It is even better because you use your mind and creativity while reading. You create your own version of the characters and you have your own preferences. People in their boring everyday lives can fall into a story of romance or adventure. There isn’t one book that is the same which means endless possibilities of places and people to engage in. Everything has its own back story and future in a book. Some of it is told and some you play out in your mind. Either way a book’s story can come to life and jump off of its pages and create a whole new exciting world.

On e-books v. books: I find both are very important. There is something about have a both in front of you and flipping through the pages. It is much easier to find things and there is almost a comfort to it. Many people prefer to have a book in front of them which is why I believe that although e-book sales are increasing that actual books will survive. Eventually I believe that there will be very few book stores but I don’t believe that they will go extinct because many people prefer them to electronic books. E-books have some glitches that I'm sure will improve in the future but not everyone will jump on the wagon, so to speak, as many have already.  E-books are popular because you can get them right away and for a few dollars cheaper. There will be a more constant flow of e-book supporters but there will be people who stay true to the ever original paper books.
