Lately, books are becoming more and more unpopular, as people choose to watch

movies instead, they don't understand that in order to make reading enjoyable, we need
to know how to categorize the works.

According to Francis Bacon, there are different types of books, those that need to be
tasted, those that need to be swallowed and those that need to be chewed and digested.

The first type are books that are very easy to understand and are read for pleasure.

The second type is the more complicated books, which are read as needed.

The last type are books with a hidden meaning that are very difficult for some people to
understand and require a deep reading, even a rereading of some sequences from them.

Only after the world respects this categorization reading will become a pleasure, not just
a need or something that is difficult to digest.

In conclusion, I can say that Bacon is very right and his words must be heard and
understood.

Only in this way the books will become as popular as before.
