Blog Post #3- What Is A Book

A book is a place where you can let your imagination run wild through the pages; metaphorically speaking. When you sit down and read a book, the author is trying to tell you and show you what they say things should look like but really your imagination is coming up with whatever you think something should look like. A book, to me, is imagination. It’s getting in to a good story and letting your brain develop a whole setting for the characters. You start to imagine different situations and different places than you’ve ever been or seen before. You get to explore new situations and a whole new world that you’ve never thought of. I like the idea of seeing another side to a similar situation. A book let’s your imagination go where regular everyday life can’t take you. And books don’t make you as crazy as that last sentence sounds.

                E-books vs. regular hard backs and what do I think? I’d have to say that overall e-books are cheaper, faster, and more convenient for on the go people. Yes, it’s not like cracking open a book and being able to see how far in you are. It’s more the cost and time efficiency that draws people to a certain side. I would have to say even though I don’t own any e-readers and my iPod screen is too small, I still prefer having a real book in my hands. It’s just what I prefer because I don’t want the strain on my eyes and I don’t want the accidental chance of dropping it and breaking it. If the e-reader crashed or you broke it, face it you are out of luck until you can go to the store or order another one online.
