Have you ever gone into a large bookstore and felt completely overwhelmed? It can help if you understand how the books are arranged.
The first thing you should know is that all forms of writing are divided into two groups: fiction and nonfiction.
Fiction is made up.
Nonfiction is true.
Fiction and nonfiction are both divided into subcategories called genres.
A genre is a category.
Fiction is divided into genres such as mystery, science fiction, romance, and drama.
Nonfiction is divided into genres such as biography, how-to, travel, political, history, and self-help.
Fiction and nonfiction are both made up of many, many genres. I've only listed a few. If you're one of those people who says, "I don't like to read," maybe you just haven't found the right genre yet. Think of something you're really interested in, something you would like to know more about. Everyone is interested in something! It could be cars, dogs, cooking, outer space - absolutely anything! There is a book - probably a whole genre out there just waiting for you! And remember - books are like potato chips; one is never enough!
