I love reading books. TV and movies are good but books are the
best. With books you get a first person perspective. You get to
see a persons thoughts. You get to see the impossible and the
unlikely.
Books can be beautiful, they can smell nice and have pictures.
They make great gifts. Books have inherent advantages over other
media, you can read them any where. They are very portable, rugged
and reliable. They last, for centuries if well looked after. The
basic technology is very simple.
What kind of books do you read ?? I read all kinds of books. The
library is the best place for books, don't buy unless you love
them. Cultivate a librarian, join. Learn to look up stuff. Take
out books. When you find an author you like read all his books.
Fiction books I enjoy are usually thrillers, adventure, romance, spy, mystery, science fiction etc. I love reading. When I relax, I read. When I 'm reading a good book I don't stop.
