What is a book?

A book is an escape from reality; it gives you an image of someone else's life. A book is like acting in a play, playing the part of a character and living in their world. The author's choice of character speaks to the reader wanting to read like the books never going to end, especially when an exciting part in the story comes up relieving you from boring description of people and places that the character meets. The idea of a book is like finding something very interesting about someone that you know very well. the author that i agree with on their view of books is Tom Piazza because his examples of why books are important to us gives a great reasoning on why people should read actual books than on eBooks. I prefer to read a paperback book because the feel of the book makes you realize that other peoples life could be like the story you're reading about. Reading on an eBook or kindle to me feels weird because i'm used to reading from an actual book from growing up. The new technology that we are creating could be a reason that toddlers don't know how an actual book or magazine because we've gotten them used to the technology and messing with their brains.
