Welcome Everyone

What makes an author the person they are? Why is writing one of the things that they love to do? I would imagine that most of us don’t have the luxury of having stories poured into our brains, although those with vivid imaginations will seem like it. There are many different genres and sub genres. But the good thing is so many people live in our world that there is room for every topic, subject, and genre.

What are the major types of books. As far as I know there are four types: eBook, Paperback, Hardback, and Audio-book. Let’s see which is best and as we go, you can comment and let me know what your opinions are.

• eBooks – The definition of this word, according to the dictionary, is: a book in electronic form that can be read on a computer or handheld device rather than in print. These are one of the most convenient forms of reading today. The other favored type is audiobooks which we will discuss later. The books can more easily be filled with pictures and other graphics.
• Paperback – This is defined as: a book bound in stiff paper or flexible cardboard. When one want to relax on the sofa or in a chair and read, these are the best for that activity. A lot of folks like to read just before going to sleep as it helps them unwind from the day’s stresses.
• Hardback – (of a book) bound in stiff covers; hardcover. Many hardback books are kept on library shelves as well as paperback copies. The hardback also is usually larger than the paperback formats. Some think they are much easier to read.
• Audio-book – an audio cassette or CD recording of a reading of a book, typically a novel. These are THE most convenient way to “read” a novel. A person can listen to the story no matter where they are (except if their boss catches them). When the chapters are read to them they can imagine they are in the story easier when listening to it than reading it. This is not how everyone feels, but I would think, the majority of people would agree.

These are the major types of story telling. Don’t get me started on Genres. There are sooooooo many it would probably take too much room here. I know, why don’t you write a comment naming some of your favorite genres (categories: science fiction, romance, mystery, etc). Until next time, have the best day ever!
