What is a book

I think a book, in very plain words, is something that expands your mind with ideas and new thoughts, images, and philosophies. I think a good book will cause you to question what you believe to be true or help you to bring ideas together and understand. Books can also be a way to live vicariously or to experience circumstances that are otherwise impossible to you. However, I also believe that books can be simply enjoyable as forms of entertainment. There are many things that are beyond the ability of my imagination, and I love to experience that type of creativity. Below are some illustrations of my favorite novel, Life of Pi by Yann Martel
