Essay 4

Recent research suggests that the number of book readers is increasing again in the past years. /has
increased over the past few years. People have started to realize, that enjoying a TV show or just
watching some videos does not have the same magic feeling as falling in love with a book, and having
the feeling that you just can not put it down. The only question is, what type of book is the most
important to read nowadays ?

Fiction books undoubtedly have an impact on our relationships. Just reading about certain life situations
can lead you to understand others’ feeling easier, and maybe solve your own problems/issues/concerns.
Writings/pieces of writings like these are found to be the most fascinating by the younger generations,
(as recent research suggests). For instance, I have recently read a book, called “The mountain between
us”, which not only showed me how important perseverance is, but also tells an amazing story about
some beautiful people.

On the other hand history books are also very important/essential to read, and there are some similar
reasons to the fiction books answering the question why. People should learn from our ancestors’
inaccuracies, and follow the right path/the right decisions they made. Knowing what happened in the
past also belongs to our general literacy. These books should not just be constructed objectively, but
also understood better by projecting it on our own lives.

Taking all this into consideration, I think that history and fiction books are the most important to be
read these years. In my own opinion, the first step is to enjoy what you are reading, and then learn the
morale of the story. Sometimes the most simple/ easiest piece of reading can help you to
understand/comprehend what happened in your own life.
