BOOKS
An author is a person who writes a book. The name of a book is its title. A novel is a book that tells a story, usually divided into chapters. The story of sb's life is called a biography, or an autobiography if a person writes their own life story. You use a reference book, for example a dictionary, an atlas or an encyclopedia, to look up information. Reference books usually have a list of contents at the front and an index at the back, to show you what information the book contains. A hardback has a hard cover and a paperback has a soft cover. Do you prefer reading fiction or non-fiction?
