What is a book???

To me a book is a new world, a place where you can escape all of the bad things in your life for hours and be in your own fantasy world where you can’t be hurt. A good book has the power to suck you in and never let you out (once you read it you will always remember it and read it more than once). A book is like a black whole, because a black hole also sucks you in and never lets you out. To me it doesn’t matter if I am reading a book on a kindle/Ipad/nook or if I am reading a paperback or hardback book. It doesn’t really matter because you are still reading the same book it is not like they change all of the words in the book it. Also because in the long run it is cheaper to buy a kindle for  $79.00 and get books for $9.00 or $10.00 dollars instead of buying a 30.00 dollar book. There is nothing really magical about a book to me it is still the same story like I said before, but it is definitely magical to some other people. Q. who and why do you think some people like to read from an actual book compared to a kindle/Ipad. And who and why doesn’t like to read from books A. I think that authors and parents like to read from a book because they have been reading hardback and paperback books there whole life. Also a lot of parents and authors belong to libraries, and they can check out many books for free. And I think that kids like to read from a kindle or an Ipad because all of the kids just want the new technology. Also a lot of kids don’t belong to libraries and if they do they most likely don’t get books they probably get movies or CD’s.

Why I Read

I like to read because it takes you into a different world of things that could never actually happen in real life. I read when I get upset so I can calm myself down and forget about what just happened to me. I read when I am bored, like when I am on a 15 hour car ride to Florida. I read because I have to for school but most of the times I read it is because my dad always tells me about books that he has read that are really good, and he makes them seem really good when he tells me so I really want to read them.  I read because I have a kindle at home and it is cool that you can put books on gaming devices. I read for pleasure. I read because I know how to read. I read because when it is a nice day on the beach and the ocean is to cold I like to sit in the sun and just simply read. I read some books to learn about what has happened in the past that is not very well known. These are the main reason why I read.
