What does a book mean to you?


What does a book mean to you? For me its something that links you to past. It’s a window to peep at a different world. A friend of yours who knows you inside out. And something that appeals to your emotions makes you smile, makes you cry, makes you angry, makes you happy, shocks you and surprises you. You will have a book for any topic and on every topic. There can never be a dearth of books. To put in another words, Not every book is here for everyone but everyone has a book.

There won’t be any city in the world without any bookstore or library. Whether you like fiction novels or a non-fiction one, romantic novels or tragic one, books on sports or on business, the choice of reader varies from one another but they get what they want in plenty. Neither is there any dearth of readers nor of writers. Let’s discuss some group of readers and the kind of books they like to read.
  • Sportsman: How can you expect a sportsperson to read books amid his busy schedule? When should he read the book while running or while lifting the weight? Jokes apart! To be a successful person you need to find someone who has already achieved what you are aspiring for. An Athlete would definitely like to read books based on legendary sports persons to seek inspiration or to achieve that position.
    Seek inspiration!
  • Teens: Sports?? Science?? Entertainment?? Politics?? Whether a boy or girl, the teen today is very curious and wants each and every answer right at the moment the question arises. They satiate themselves with the satisfactory answers via books. They generally prefer reading books on each topic mentioned above starting from story books to science-fiction, General knowledge to entertainment. Funny novels to Inspirational one.
    Know about everything!




  • Adults: If you are an entrepreneur, you would definitely like to read books based on business, businessman or books by business man. If you are an aspiring writer, you would definitely like to have books all-around you from all the corners of the world. If you are an artist for example: an aspiring singer you are going to read books related to music and great musicians.
    Get the whole world!




  • Kids: How can we forget kids in this approach. Although kids don’t like to read anything. In fact, they consider books as their greatest enemies. However, the moment they see a comic book it becomes hard to detach them from the very enemy.
    Kids have their own taste!
Literature is a medium where different cultures converge, where you get to see the reality of times you were not present. Books become voice of many suppressed voices and they find their readers the moment they come out. A curious reader looks for the new books of his choice in various bookstores. The busy ones download the books to read it on the go. They attend many literary fests to hear some words of wisdom from great authors, novelists, professors, artists and also to participate in many literary activities.

Well, here is your opportunity to attend one of the much awaited literary fest that is, “Huddersfield Literature Festival”. It’s going to be there till 16th March. This time the festival is all set to cater to the needs of all kind of readers. And ,of course, the entertainment part is going to be there to edutain you!
