There are many kinds of books in the world. They fall into two categories which are fiction and non-fiction.
Well-received books from either kind are even made into movies and games.
Fiction books are written using the imagination. The characters and events surrounding them are not real. Often,
fiction books are written in two or three combinations from the science, fantasy and classical groups. The most
popular kind among youngsters is probably in the area of fantasy. Anything involving magic and witchcraft,
spacecraft and aliens, or superheroes and time travel may be used in this category.
Many different kinds of non-fiction books are available on the market. These are written about facts, real
people, real events and real places. Most of the time, non-fiction books are written by the people who had experienced
or witnessed the happening themselves.
As more books are written and produced across the globe, our choice for selection also increases. Although
reading is a good form of habit, choosing the right kind of books to read is just as important. We, as the readers, have
responsibility to learn to choose wisely.
