A book is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is called a leaf, and each side of a leaf is called a page. A book produced in electronic format is known as an e-book.

Books may also refer to a literature work, or a main division of such a work. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines, journals or newspapers. The body of all written works including books is literature.

In novels, a book may be divided into several large sections, also called books (Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, etc).

A lover of books is usually referred to as a bibliophile, a bibliophilist, or a philobiblist, or, more informally, a bookworm.

A store where books are bought and sold is a bookstore or bookshop. Books can also be borrowed from libraries.

A. The Noughts and Crossed Sequence by Malorie Black man. This book didn't exactly ruin my favourite book for me, because I didn't have a favourite book when I read it. But what this book has done is change the whole point of story telling for me. When I was younger I always thought writing a good piece of literature was done my using lots of fancy words that no one knows the meaning of and giving your characters amazing names, abilities and basically making them some kind of 'superhuman'. But after I read Noughts and Crosses I realised that everyday words are just as effective as fancy ones. And characters should be normal, because we can relate to them more. It's the plot that should be complex, with suspense that keeps you on the edge… [cont.]

How should I start the beginning of my book report?
Q. I'm writing a book report on the book "Dreamland" by Sarah Dessen. My book reports always turn out great, I just have problems starting them off. The first paragraph has to be about the turning point of the book, and I have to write it in a way that everyone else who reads it will understand what happened in the book. I just need a topic sentence, can you help me out?

Knowing I lov'd my books, he furnish'd me From mine own library with volumes that I prize above my dukedom. - William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), The Tempest, Act 1 scene 2

  • The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books.
  • A single book at the right time can change our views dramatically, give a quantum boost to our knowledge, help us construct a whole new outlook on the world and our life. Isn't it odd that we don't seek those experiences more systematically?
