What is a Book?

A Book is a Life. Traits that many books have are that they suck you up in its world, making you leave reality. They also have some very specific ways in how you should treat them, with respect like a baby. Books have but a great influence in life in many people. They relax a person, clam them down, make us t to go to sleep, give us something to do when were bored. Sort of like a little kid. With little kids they may relax us, calm us down, and make us go to bed after a long day. And entertain us when were bored. 

I love what Tom Piazza said “They are strictly vehicles; you pick them up to step through them into some consensus reality; you’re wired in.” And I completely agree with that but at the same time I don’t. First books aren’t just strictly vehicles. There more than that. But at the same time they are because you start to read and then you’re hooked. Never want to let go of the book once you start to read.  I also like Nancy Jo Sales way of putting it “that makes it living, breathing companion.” I agree the book is a friend that we have that can never hurt us in the end, they always there when we need them. And like she said “We NEED them too much.”  

I prefer to read the book in paper because then it would and can accompany you anywhere you go. But it may be better having it on electronic devices. But with a real book if you get frustrated with it you can through it at the wall, as with and electronic devise you can’t for obvious reasons.  And with the psychical book I think it’s sort of Magical to have it in real life, holding it in your hands, because you can’t just stop reading at any point, it sort of old fashion but reading under the covers with a flashlight in hand, it’s always fun. And you can’t do that with an electronic device. Sure you could but it isn’t the same.
