A book is...

A book is a lifestyle, when it comes to reading. Currently, the biggest controversy in the book world is the usage of a Kindle vs. old school, paper books.  Readers have the personal decision to buy either a paper book or a Kindle. There are pros and cons to each. You save money if you buy a Kindle, one person might say. While other people say, books are real and you get more into the story when read and turn each page vs. reading a computer screen. Books give you satisfaction of closing the cover once you finish the book vs. reading a book on a Kindle. So, obviously there are many opinions and preferences to reading an actual book rather than reading off of the screen of a Kindle, Ipad, or electronic device.

 What is my opinion on reading a Book or Kindle???

Well, my personal opinion is that I like to reading paper books rather than using a Kindle or on a screen. I like how you get to flip the pages and to see how much you have read since you first started the book, and see how much is left until the end of the book. I feel accomplished when I finish a book and then, I can put it in my book pile with the rest of the books that I have already read. I love going to book stores and picking out the next book I will read. That is something you miss out on when buying a book off of a Kindle or an Ipad. One thing I love about reading is that when you get into an intense part of the story, you can’t put the book down because you want to continue to see what will happen next in the story. That’s when you know it is a good book because you completely forget about what is going on around you and the rest of the world.  Sometimes, when I read a lot of different books I feel like a bookworm.  I think a lot of people do this when they read and they don’t even realize it. In my opinion, I feel like people who read off of a Kindle might lose some of that experience but, I could be completely wrong. The important thing is that we still have people reading for the fun and enjoyment in our society. (:

Why I Read :)

Hi Everyone! I like to read for a variety of reasons. To begin, there are so many different types of books to read that once you start reading a good book that gets your attention, you just can’t stop. There are so many different genres of books to read. The variety of books available include, but are not limited to, mystery, humor, romance, drama, sci-fi, history, fiction, and non-fiction. I am always reading different types of books. Some books that I have found interesting to read are The Kite Runner, Life of Pi, Beastly, and Dear John. Presently, I am in the process of reading The Hunger Games Series and it is awesome so far. I like to read books before they become movies because it makes the experience so much more fun. I saw the trailer for The Hunger Games and it makes me more excited to read the rest of the book and then to see the actual movie. Usually, I find that the book ends up being much better than the movie. I think I first started to love reading was when I was little and read the book, Holes. I read the book before it became a movie and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.  It was such an interesting story and then I saw the movie. The movie was good but I just liked the experience of being able to read the book first and then see what was put into the movie and what was cut out. I would suggest to anyone who is a movie watcher but not a reader, try reading a book before seeing the movie version and you might find out that reading is just as fun as going to the movies. These are some of the reasons I love to read.
