About This Quote

I think children who prefer to read books set in the real, ordinary, workaday world read as obsessively as those who would much rather be transported into other worlds entirely. However, there could also be limitations to this relationship. I believe that children who prefer books set in the real, ordinary, workaday world will read as obsessively as those who would much rather be transported into other worlds entirely. It all depends on each child’s personality.

Some are more prone to reading nonfiction books while others might prefer fiction books. Some might also prefer reading about school or sports while others might enjoy reading about fictional characters or mysteries. However, if you are a fan of fantasy books, the enjoyment is the same whether you prefer reading about ordinary everyday things or something completely different.
