Then we have world of fiction. Fiction books are made up, make-believe, tales, stories from mind of writer. Some fiction books are pretty far-fetched. Some books are based on some fact. Some are so close to truth with just a few details enhanced or exaggerated to make it more interesting.

With rise of technology, book expenses have risen also. Unfortunately, this only damages reading more. There are several options for those wanting to have their enjoyment of books. One format is electronic, or e-books. E-books can be purchased online and downloaded instantly like a computer program. They can then be read right on computer screen. Another option is book trade-outs and used book stores. Even national airports are becoming involved in book trade-outs. You can buy a book, read it on your flight, then return it at your destination airport and get part of your cash back. Someone else can then obtain that "used" book for a lower price and book cycle goes on.

In this technological world, we still need to remember that none of it would be possible without printed word.
