The Two Worlds of Books

12/17/2014

 
There are many types of books in the world and just as many or more types of people in the world. Everyone has their own preferences on what they like to read. All of the books in the world, no matter what content, fall in two different groups. These groups are fiction (the fantasy and make believe stories) and nonfiction (the real, fact--based stories). The type of books people read depends partly on the reader’s personality Some people may prefer to read fiction books, or they may like to read nonfiction books.
Not all nonfiction books are educational. What makes a nonfiction book real is the set of rules that the story follows. Some of the main rules include gravity, realistic space travel, and normal passage of time. Defying gravity, traveling in space ships that have FTL (faster than light) capabilities, and utopias of future Earth belong in the fiction section. Most nonfiction books pertain to present day life or past life since the details of an event don’t have to be created or exaggerated like details in fiction books do.

The only really accurate way to find out what type of books people like to read is to ask them. When asked, Willy Schejbal said, “I like to read science fiction, medieval, and sci-fi books because nonfiction books don’t offer the same amount of entertainment, not as well written, and suffer from a lack of imagination.” Robby Cichon said that he likes adventure and books that are in a series. Abby Perdue said that she likes science fiction and romance novels. Alex Madden said, “I enjoy reading fiction, action books because they provide the entertainment and excitement that nonfiction books can’t provide.” Daniel Scheer said, “I don’t read books in my spare time.” The majority of the people asked say they like to read fiction books because of their excitement and ability to picture what isn’t possible or is so rare that it is hardly ever seen.

The world of reading is ever-changing and will always be this way due to the variety of people writing books and the different sources of inspiration people find. What people like to read can also change over time as they modify or develop their personalities. Nonfiction and fiction books will always remain in the world to easily categorize what books people read.
