Nowadays fiction books and movies have been number one among many countries around the world especially Twilight and Harry Potter that are huge successes right now. People, especially the young people have been captivated by the stories. The books seem to be exclusively written for them because they will be able to insert themselves as the main characters. Another reason why the fiction books are so popular is because so many teen girls are into the idea of "true love" and Twilight is a romantic kind of book. But older ones, or those that have some life experience won't be able to identify in any way with this book.
Not only Twilight but also Harry Potter is another example of a fiction book. A point is that the books represent what we sometimes see in regular families and the books aren't written in any particular way that makes you completely lost by not reading them in order. For the youngsters, it is very easy to relate to the situations in the book. Every kid has had for some point experienced when their parents denied them something, or for some reason made you angry at your parents. As a kid, parents are 'god' like. They have the power over all aspects of their kids' lives. Harry being able to escape is probably something that kids can relate to. I believe that the magical things that happen in the Harry Potter books play a major role in young people's interest. In addition, what kid (or adult for that matter) wouldn't love to find out that he/she can do magic? Apparently the main factor is that kids, who often feel quite powerless, enjoy reading stories about kids who have some sort of power that the adult world doesn't have.
Like I said before, none of this fiction books gives you nothing except a wonderland you can freely imagine. A non-fiction book we have read in the class is The Kite Runner, who is written by Khaled Hosseini. It is said by several people that it’s a heartbreaking story that gives you a picture about Afghanistan and the life during war. Besides that the book shows how a friendship is incredible with all the twist and surprises on another hand it is a book with full of useful information. However if you're going to read only one novel about Afghanistan’s history and people, The Kite Runner is as the right book to read where you get a feeling for Afghanistan and the society that exists there.
I've never been fond of anything that has to do with fiction to do because it doesn’t arouse my interest reading about things and creatures that not exist in our world. I like non fiction books just because I really enjoy reading about things that is going on around the world and the thing that makes me like the most about is that you learn so much while you are reading, not only different cultures but religions, people and countries. Your eyes open and you can see how different people we have in our world and how they live for instance but reading fiction books brings you in a new world to the wizards, witches and monsters. So I find fiction for only the children, those who like to fantasy and want to imagine.
To sum up I would say reading non-fiction books are worthier than reading fiction books, but that is my opinion. We live in a world with thousands of different people with different backgrounds, interest, tastes and opinions.
