For me, a fiction book is a book that is talking about unrealistic events that happened only in this book. However, the non fictional uh books mainly talk about real events happened in the past and are expressed in this book such as, uh, for fictional books such as Harry Potter, all the world everything in the in the book and the movies are unreal. However, in another book, like autobiography, the things that are written are all real. Do you? Yes. Uh, no. I don’t think so. Since we do have movies and TV shows, many books were converted into these types of entertainment. And many people now prefer to watch movies and want them reading a book it’s more easier and this, uh, time or, uh, not much time that we won’t spend that much time in reading a book.

Fiction books are stories that involve imaginary events and characters. They're often set in fantastical worlds or explore themes that are not based on reality. For example, in Harry Potter, the magic, the characters, and the entire world are entirely fictional. Non-fiction books, on the other hand, deal with real events, people, and situations. They aim to inform, educate, or provide factual accounts. Autobiographies, for instance, are non-fiction because they recount the author's real life experiences. As for whether people read more books today than in the past, I'm not sure. With the rise of movies, TV shows, and other forms of entertainment, people have more options for consuming stories. While some people still enjoy reading, others might find it easier and faster to watch a movie or TV show. It's a matter of personal preference and how much time people are willing to dedicate to reading.
