Reading Tip of the Week: Why I Love Fiction Books

The practice of telling stories has existed for thousands of years. People are drawn to myths, legends, and other tales that evoke themes and messages best captured through a fictional narrative. While there is always a grain of truth and reality in all fiction, the writer's and reader's imagination can make words on the page come alive in amazing and awe-inspiring ways.

Even with millions of books in existence, we never tire of reading fiction, discovering new stories and authors, and learning about humanity through the fictional characters on the page. There’s something truly magical about opening a book and being transported to another place, being drawn into the world on the page, and staying up late to finish one chapter only to be left on a cliffhanger and have to read just one more.

That’s why I love fiction books. Sure, there may be those who aren’t interested in reading these days, but I believe a great book is just as exciting and captivating as any film or TV series.

If you’ve fallen out of love with reading, I encourage you to pick up a book by an author you may know or a genre that interests you and rekindle your interest in the written word. Finding a book or author that grabs you may take a few tries, but once you find something that clicks, you’ll be a book reader for life!

Happy Reading, and I’ll see you next time!
