Post 2: What is a book?

A book is a friend. Any book you read whether you like it or not gives you a chance for creativity, an opportunity for relaxtion, and a hope to grow as a person. Reading can be an enjoyable pass time. It was around before black and white tv, after 3-D and color tv, and inspired theatre and plays and films. Without books we wouldnt have written stories to tell over and over again; to share, to laugh about, cry about, or reflect. I personally love paper backbooks. I love the quiet, relaxing, safe atmosphere a library gives, I love the smell of old or new book. I think we should try to keep regular books and libraries alive. I love being able to be in walking./biking distance of my local library and being able to sit down and read it there. Books help you gain knowledge and fight ignorane by putting yourself in a characters shoes that help you see the world through there eyes. But the vived imagery found in most books that help enhance the image you imagined in your mind, wont change if you read it from an real original book copy, or you decide to read it on your kindle or other personal device. The quality of the book depends on the words not the package in which it comes. The way the message is delivered is the same both ways for both forms of reading. It really just comes down to preference, so you can choose whichever way is most fun for you. Me personally, im old school, and i enjoy the excitement of holding a new book in my hands and laying on my bed flipping through the pages and rereading and rereading till i fall asleep. That is one of my favorite things to do.
