The reason for reading band books is life relation. People want a book to relate too and if they use swear words like shit and have nasty or terrible vivid descriptions or horrible situations, which happened to either the author or victim. People want to know they aren't the only ones going through a struggle. That's why bullies bring people down with them. It is good to have these books around though because they remind everyone that no matter how bad of a day you are having there is always someone having a worse one. It shows them how others deal with these situations too. Some look to these books for guidance of some kind or maybe to just escape what they’re going through. humans are wired to communicate better if people come from the same level of "class" and come from the same struggles as them because it is easier to know that their talking about. It can be observed every year during the Emmys. Every year the film that is the most controversial or has a subject that is touchy in today society always wins. Let’s look at the book 50 shades of grey even though it didn't win an Emmy. It is heavily controversial because of is obviously explicit content. But because it was so controversial people saw it and are becoming desensitized to s and m type things. This is good because they shouldn’t have to feel ashamed. These types of things can be helpful because people understand the subject better. People fear what they don't understand.
