I think books a very important, especially good ones. I think a book is good as long as you are interested in the main character, and you identify with him or her. I lose interest as soon as I think about how the main character is pathetic and annoying or the story doesn’t matter.
Books are so important because they make so many thoughts and ideas available to us wherever we go. I can take a book with me and enjoy almost anywhere I go. Books are important because they transcend languages as well as surpass time and circumstance. This is one of the reasons we read so much in English.
Another reason we read is because we get new ideas and a deeper sense of appreciation for the thoughts of others. Books are necessary because a person hundreds of years ago in a foreign place writing in a foreign language can express their opinions and ideals to us today in America.
The point of fiction I think is to express reality outside the realm of reality. In other words you can have a real situation exist when it ever happened in the real world.

I Agree with you nick, with the losing intrest thing especially, for example the twilight series. i tried to read the first book and the main character sucked. and the whole story line was pointless to me they are a pathetic excuse of a book.
