The Towers Series Books On Shelves

By Catherine King


Life is something that can be very long. It can also be very boring. Considering just how much time there is in a year, it comes as no surprise that humanity found ways to entertain itself. Sure, in the olden days, they did not have to. They were too busy hunting and gathering to worry about something as mundane as boredom. But it is no longer the olden days. Now people go to groceries and order takeout if they want to eat, they do not pick up spears and track an animal for days on end so they can kill it and then bring it back to their tribe. Which is why there are things like the towers series books, because there has to be something down with the time.

The first thing that needs doing is to explain what reading is. In the simplest possible terms, it is the act of deciphering symbols on the page, turning those symbols into words, and then essentially playing a movie in the mind that acts out what the words on the page. Or to put it even more plainly, it is a self inflicted hallucination.

There are a lot of factors that motivate a person to become a reader. The most basic is that it is something that they simply enjoy. But there are those who do only so they can partake in a modicum of intellectual snobbery.

When it comes to reading, time is absolutely of the essence. This is because there is not enough of it in the day, or at least it can seem that way. So it is important to dedicate a certain section during the day and to really focus on reading.

Now, it is important to buy a legit copy. This is because authors generally make a percentage of the sales of their books. This means that the more they sell, the more they make. Certain anomalous successes have put it into the minds of the public that all authors are rich. Well, this is simply not true. Many of them are ordinary, middle class people. A lot of them do not even get to be middle class. So buy a legitimate copy, to make sure that they get fair compensation for the art that they put out in the world.

There are also audio books. This means that a narrator or a full cast read the whole book out loud. This is perfect for some people, as this can be done while driving, or working out. This is also how a lot of blind individuals consume the same stories as everyone else.

Copies are not going to be a difficult thing to find. Even for titles that are out of print. This is because of online shopping. Pretty much every title that has ever been published is going to be online.

Now, if money is an issue, there is still a way to read. That way would be libraries. In fact, more and more individuals are taking advantage of them.

Sure, life can be short. But for the most part, it can be pretty long. So much so that there needs to be a little fun thrown into the mix.
