A book is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is called a leaf, and each side of a leaf is called a page. A book produced in electronic format is known as an e-book.

Books may also refer to a literature work, or a main division of such a work. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines, journals or newspapers. The body of all written works including books is literature.

In novels, a book may be divided into several large sections, also called books (Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, etc).

A lover of books is usually referred to as a bibliophile, a bibliophilist, or a philobiblist, or, more informally, a bookworm.

A store where books are bought and sold is a bookstore or bookshop. Books can also be borrowed from libraries.

What books do you suggest reading that are really great thrillers?
Q. I am in the mood to read some thrillers. Any suggestions on any books to read especially any by regular authors (not the big sellers like Michael Chrichton, but not excluding them either). Plus only adult literature as well, not books for teens or kids. Please don't just list books, but tell me why they are good that so I have some info to know what I should get.

A. i tend to like older ones - agatha christie is the best, hands down. "and then there were none," "the murder of roger ackroyd," and "witness for the prosecution" are all murder mysteries with really unpredictable, gasp-worthy plot twists. a newer one that i haven't finished but find really interesting is "eye contact" by cammie mcgovern. it's about an autistic boy who witnesses the murder of his friend but is unable to communicate what he saw. hope this helps!

What books do you recommend for increasing financial intelligence?
Q. I've just read Rich Dad Poor Dad and Rich Dads Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki. In these books Robert talks about the importance of financial intelligence. Which books do you recommmend which can help me increase my financial inteligence as prescribed by R. Kiyosaki. I'm not really good with numbers so a book thats aimed at such people wpuld be best. A "financial inteligence for dummies" if you will.

A. Warren Buffett wrote (maybe co-wrote) a book a few years ago. I highly recommend it. Also, I would strongly recommend a basic textbook on micro- and macro-economics. Good luck.

A. Honestly, and I am not saying this to be mean but, are you seriously only going to read books like Twilight? Stephanie Meyer isn't that great and if that is the only books you've read you're missing out on so much more. Go to your book store and look around. Read the backs of books and skim through the pages to see if it's easy/difficult enough for you. But honestly don't only look for books like Twilight. Vampires/Horny teens are such a fad and you can't go wrong with the classics :) Best of luck with your reading

Quotations about books:

Contents

Sourced

Knowing I lov'd my books, he furnish'd me From mine own library with volumes that I prize above my dukedom. - William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), The Tempest, Act 1 scene 2
  • Knowing I lov'd my books, he furnish'd me From mine own library with volumes that I prize above my dukedom.
  • The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books.
  • A single book at the right time can change our views dramatically, give a quantum boost to our knowledge, help us construct a whole new outlook on the world and our life. Isn't it odd that we don't seek those experiences more systematically?
    • Steve Leveen, The Little Guide to Your Well-Read Life, Levenger Press, 2005, p. 11
  • A sure sign of a good book is that you like it more the older you get.
    • Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799), Vermischte Schriften, K., 351
    • Original German: "Ein sicheres Zeichen von einem guten Buche ist, wenn es einem immer besser gefällt, je älter man wird."
