Reading A True Crime Novel Is A Great Hobby

By Eric Wilson


Books have a rich history. The written word has come from far. Paper was invented in China. The Hebrews came up with the first alphabet. The printing press was invented in England. Therefore, the first book was written by an Englishman. Books facilitate the passing down of knowledge from one generation to another. There are books such as a true crime novel that are simply entertaining. Reading that kind of book is just like watching a movie because of the level of action that is involved. As a matter of fact, most crime movies are based on novels.

The first work of fiction was published in the UK. Since then, there have been thousands of fiction books. This niche has greatly revolved over the years. It all started with the mystery novel. Presently, there are even science fiction books. These are futuristic in nature. Some things in science fiction novels have actually been realized. Reading fiction is a good pastime.

A good crime novel is hard to put down. That is because it is interesting in every sense and respect. It will interest a reader from page one to the last because of its element of suspense. When one can easily predict the next course of action, a book becomes bland and boring, and few people will complete reading it.

Of course, there will be a number of characters. There will be the good guys and the bad ones. One of the main characters will be a criminal. There will also be law enforcement guys who will be pursuing the criminal. The protagonist can be an individual who does not have any experience in law enforcement.

A great crime book does not lack entertainment. It has many entertaining scenes. Therefore, it is something that someone can read to pass time during his free time. Reading is one of the greatest hobbies. Instead of watching TV, one can read fiction before going to bed. Some people usually read fiction during the weekend when unwinding.

An active hobby is better than a passive hobby. An active hobby will actively involve the mind or the body or both. Reading involves the mind. It can also involve the body as one can keep moving because of finding the book in question to be interesting. It is good to have hobbies that actually facilitate mental and physical development.

Most passive hobbies are not good. As a matter of fact, some can be dangerous. A hobby that involves drinking booze can actually harm the body especially if one drinks alcohol in excess. The hobby of watching movies does not help the body in any way. Also, it involves too much sitting down. According to scientists, excessive sitting down causes diseases.

Reading does not only entertain. It also informs and enlightens. As it is commonly said, information is power. The most powerful person on earth is not the one who controls nuclear weapons. It is the person who has the right information. One can decide to read a paperback novel. Alternatively, one can read a virtual book via a PC or smart phone.
