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.

Q. I need to read a certain amount of books during the summer and I really need to know some good books. Don't bother with any Stephanie Meyer books or and Sarah Dessen books because I have read them all. It doesn't matter how long the books are either, but it would be nice for them to be over 200 pages! Please, i have no idea what to read!

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."
