Content: Humans have thrived on stories since the beginning. Stories have always existed and books have become the best way to convey them. It is surprising that even in today's world of all sorts of digital media, books are not extinct! People read more books today than they have ever before. I think, an important difference between movies or any other on-screen medium of telling and books must be said. In movies, you just watch the movie, as an observer. But, reading a book is a much more satisfying experience. You are not the observer but a participant. It is an intimate connection between the author's and your mind. Movies can never 'show' emotions unlike books, which an make you feel them.
