What Makes a Book ‘Famous’ or ‘Forgotten’?

A book becomes famous when lots of people read it and love it. It can be forgotten if no one reads it anymore, like a secret hidden in a dusty corner of the library.

Why People Read Books

People read books because they find them interesting or meaningful. If many people share this feeling, the book might become famous.

How Books Get Forgotten

If a book is not shared with others, or if it becomes too old and nobody remembers it, it can be forgotten, like an old friend you don’t see anymore.
