dear friend,
reading is all around us, and we see it everyday throughout our lives. we get it in forms of newspapers, road signs, maps and even menus. the point is, it is impossible to live through life without it. we gain knowledge from it. especially from reading books. books can be informative, entertaining, or just have a great plot that keeps you from putting it down. ever heard of that book joke? where someone is reading a book on anti-gravity and they just cant put it down? well its like that for some people, they find such enjoyment in reading a book. it could be used as an escape from the real world, to have put themselves in a new type of world like the characters they are reading about or even just imagine what it would be like. reading opens up a whole bunch of creative thoughts. its important to read books because it helps you stay in touch with some great authors, improve your vocabulary and cognitive ways. people always associate reading books with school, and while that is true, it can also just be on your own time. reading books in school would always be sort of a bore to students because they knew it would involve a lot of work throughout it. but, reading on your own time might help you see that it is an enjoyable activity, not just a required activity to pass a class. and that is why reading books is of a great importance. it helps open a lot of new horizons. and who knows, you might just like it.
