Read the passage from "How Should One Read a Book?”

Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning.

Essay

Explanation:

An essay is a well written piece of writing that mainly deals with a single subject.

The reader can conclude that the passage comes from an essay because it has a single clear central idea which is books and how we should read them and is making an argument which are important qualities of an essay.

Furthermore, the passage cannot be a biography because it is not talking about the life of someone, nor is it a myth as it discusses real issues, neither is it a play because there are no actors or a stage.
