why would you by or read a book?

Question

i serch for more reasons that a person would by or read a book, it doesn't matter what kind of book.

Answer 1

I'm one of these people who still trust books more than television for information.
I usually don't know what I'm going to buy until I enter the book store and start browsing. Because I'm interested in many things, I can usually always find something that looks interesting. In fact, if anything, my problem is I tend to buy books faster than I can read them. Sometimes, I have to impose a moratorium and not buy new books until I'm almost done reading the old ones. LOL.

Answer 2

Aside from the fact that the more you read the better you get at it and the more you expand your comprehension, books are cool. I've always loved reading and I can't go into a bookstore without walking out with something. Mystery, Thriller, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Fiction, Horror. I think I've read something out of every genera. If you find something you're interested in, then anyone can develop a love for reading.

Answer 3

I would buy a book that is recommended to me by someone who has read it or if the subject is interesting and informative to me and of course I would read it also. I love biographies, books about history, those of Stephen King, encyclopedias because everything can be found as informations in it, reference books too. I often go to the public library and check the new books that are being published.

Answer 4

I personally, would to relax and kick back to get your imagination running to help with your reading skills but I ecspeacilly like to read a book on cold days you cuddle up on a comfy spot at night after I take a shower because you feel so cozy and warm and if I had seen the movie and they made a book out of it

Answer 5

Studies have shown that American children who learn to read by the third grade are less likely to end up in prison, drop out of school, or take drugs.

Adults who read literature on a regular basis are nearly three times as likely to attend a performing arts event, almost four times as likely to visit an art museum, more than two-and-a-half times as likely to do volunteer or charity work, and over one-and-a-half times as likely to participate in sporting activities, according to Jamie Littlefield on charityguide.org

I like books with great well developed characters I can relate to and I mainly use it for an "escape" - and subsequently stress relief.

Currently I am reading Slaughter House Five:

It is a 1969 novel by best-selling author Kurt Vonnegut. One of his most popular works and widely regarded as a classic; it combines science fiction elements with an analysis of the human condition from an uncommon perspective, using time travel as a plot device and the bombing of Dresden in World War II, the aftermath of which Vonnegut witnessed, as a starting point.

When the book was released, the bombing of Dresden was not widely known and was rarely discussed by veterans and historians. The book led to an increased awareness of the bombings and a reevaluation of the justifications given for aerial bombing of cities by the Allies during the war.

Here are some other favorites:

1. The Wold According to Garp by John Irving
2. Fire Starter by Stephen King
3. Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson
4.The Stand by Stephen King
5. Jurassic Park by Michael Cricton
6. The Language of God by Francis S. Collins
7. Moby Dick by Herman Melville
8. Enders Game by Orson Scott Card
9. Blue Beard by Kurt Vonnegut
10. Sideways by Rex Pickett
