Info Post
By Catherine King


Life is something that can be very long. It can also be very boring. Considering just how much time there is in a year, it comes as no surprise that humanity found ways to entertain itself. Sure, in the olden days, they did not have to. They were too busy hunting and gathering to worry about something as mundane as boredom. But it is no longer the olden days. Now people go to groceries and order takeout if they want to eat, they do not pick up spears and track an animal for days on end so they can kill it and then bring it back to their tribe. Which is why there are things like the towers series books, because there has to be something down with the time.

Before moving on any further, it has to be explained just what exactly reading is. Well, it is both similar and unlike watching a movie or a play. The story is still there, the audience is still supposed to be engrossed in it, but instead of actors acting out what happens within the story, a person reads the worlds on the page.

There are a lot of factors that motivate a person to become a reader. The most basic is that it is something that they simply enjoy. But there are those who do only so they can partake in a modicum of intellectual snobbery.

But it is also important to make sure that the time to do so is there. All too often, the minutes can slip away while the day gets busy. So it is then vital for a reader to make sure to carve even ten minutes of their day to cracking open a book.

Now, it is important to buy a legit copy. This is because authors generally make a percentage of the sales of their books. This means that the more they sell, the more they make. Certain anomalous successes have put it into the minds of the public that all authors are rich. Well, this is simply not true. Many of them are ordinary, middle class people. A lot of them do not even get to be middle class. So buy a legitimate copy, to make sure that they get fair compensation for the art that they put out in the world.

But for those who do not always have the opportunity to turn their eyes towards the pages of a book, there are always the ears. To be more blunt about it, there are audio books. This is when the story is read aloud, sort of like how parents do with bedtime stories. This is actually how a lot of the visually impaired consume the same media as everyone else.

Copies of pretty much any title should be easy to find, particularly is the title in question was a bestseller. This is because the internet has revolutionized the way that consumers shop. For better or worse, brick and mortar stores are dying out, but electronic commerce sites are only beginning to hit their stride.

Of course, the copies will not come for free. But if there are any budgetary restrictions in play, do not fret. There are public libraries. Some people might say that they are dying, but their attendance is actually up because struggling youngsters go to them instead of other places, so there is still a demand for them.

Living is not always easy. It was never meant to be. But it does not have to be dull.
