What Is A Book?

 

A book is a doorway to another world, to another perspective. I believe a book is a way to escape reality for a moment of time and explore the imaginative and/or in-depth thinking part of your brain. In my mind it doesn’t matter if a book is digital, hardbound or paper book, it’s about what the message of the story is that matters. Personally I tend to read more paper and hardbound books more than digital copies. I agree with Nancy Joe Sales when she says that “I don't think books will ever disappear for this reason: We need them too much. They remind us that we exist; they show us how we have lived,” (Sales). I also think that books will never disappear or just appear digital only. I don’t think that people will give up the physical companion feeling that a paper book has. I don’t think that a book is magical but it depends on who is reading a specific story. One person may connect to a story in a different way than another person due to personal background, heritage, ect.
