What's Are Real Books?

Real books, to me, are anything you can open up, read and get something from. Anything providing some kind of information or some sort of story about something, I consider to be a book. A book doesn't have a certain length or certain requirements, in my opinion. When you think of a book you don't tend to think of newspaper articles and magazines, but I feel these are just as important as books, because they are providing some sort of information, therefore I classify them with books. I try not to show prejudice towards literature I am unfamiliar with, such as comic books, because, as stated in my definition of a real book, a comic book is included. Although I don't really enjoy literature like graphic novels and comics, in no way does that mean to me that these aren't books. If I read these types of literature, I may not particularly enjoy them, but ultimately I will get something from them. Whether I liked what I read or not, to me it is nearly impossible to get absolutely nothing from reading.
