	# Books

	The books dataset consists of a diverse collection of books organized into 9 categories, it splitted to `train`, `validation` where the train contains 40 books, and the validation 9 books.

	This dataset is cleaned well and designed to support various natural language processing (NLP) tasks, including `text generation` and `masked language modeling`.

	## Details

	The dataset contains 4 columns:

	- title: The tilte of the book.
	- author: The author of the book.
	- category: The genre/category of the book.
	- EN: The whole content of the book, in english. it's very very clean.

	Tasks:

	- Text Generation
	- Fill-Mask

	## Categories

	The dataset is organized into the following categories:

	1. Adventure: 5 books.
	2. Biographies: 3 books.
	3. Children: 4 books.

	## Splits
	The dataset is splitted into the following splits:

	1. train: 40 books.
	2. validation: 9 books, 1 book from each category.

	## Usage

	The books collection dataset is ideal for training and evaluating models for text generation and language modeling,
	it provides a broad range of genres and styles, making it a valuable resource for diverse NLP applications.

	And here is an example of usage:

	```python
	from datasets import load_dataset

	books = load_dataset("IsmaelMousa/books", split="train")

	print(books["EN"][0][:500])
	```


	output:
	```
