Nowadays people are not so fond of reading books, but still there are some people for whom it is a real hobby. In this modern world we have a variety of different books. However, some people say that good books are only those ones which are simple to understand.
Personally, I cannot agree with this opinion. Firstly, different people have different tastes. For some people one book can be amazing, but for others it may be awful. It is not a surprise because there are so many books of different genres. For example, children usually like fairy tales, fantastic or adventure stories, while adults prefer love or scientific ones. Moreover, people usually have different range of knowledge. Open minded people prefer books of classical poets. Not everyone can easily understand great novels as "War and Peace", for example. But it does not mean that it is a bad book.
But some people think that books should be available for people of all ages. Reading a good book is a way people can relax and entertain. Such books do not require any special preparation. And they are good because everyone likes them.
However, I believe that it does not matter what kind of books you like. It is important to appreciate what you really do.
In conclusion, I think good books are those books that really suit to your tastes, but not to tastes of all people.
