Book reading is one of the most budget-friendly hobbies that are not only fun but also intellectually stimulating. You don’t have to spend a fortune on one book, and you’ll get several hours of entertainment. The more pages you have in a book, the more entertainment you will get.
However, to be able to fully benefit from this hobby, you first need to identify which type of reader you are! For example, do you have the focus and attention span for a longer book, or are you more into short stories? Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction? What’s your genre of preference? Are you willing to go outside of your comfort zone to read something that you’re generally not used to? Figuring out these things can help you narrow down the best books that fit your taste and style.
Another thing that an avid reader is concerned about is the format of books. Some readers prefer to get only hardcover books because, in addition to the story, they are tempted by the artwork and the quality of books as well. On the contrary, others like to read paperbacks because they are lightweight and easier to carry around. Then there’s a different category of readers who are fond of soft copies and purchase kindle books to satisfy their reading urges. However, sometimes it’s difficult to find the book of your choice in your preferred format. So, if you are really into that book, you should be open to reading it in a different format.
A: Every year, countless books are released all over the world. This makes it hard to select the ones that you may find interesting. Moreover, everyone has their preferred genre of reading, and people browse that section to find a book they like. To start off, check for the top-recommended books in your selected category. Once you filter out a few books, read their blurb to get an idea of what they are all about. Next, check the book’s ratings on book review websites and go through user reviews to make sure these are the books you are looking for. Just beware, avoid any reviews that have spoilers; otherwise, you won’t have fun reading the book.
A: The major difference between fiction and non-fiction is imagination. Novels, short stories, fairy tales, and myths have imaginative plots and characters, meaning that they don’t exist in real life. These elements may be inspired by real-life events or people, but the writer weaves stories around them. Non-fictional books, on the other hand, are based on real-life events, reports, or ideas. These books need to be fact-checked to retain their credibility. Moreover, the credibility is also reflected through an unbiased view of the author.
