Life is something to learn about not only by experiencing it, but also by reading. Valuable books enlighten us when we are thirsty for knowledge; they provide us with delight, ornament and ability, console us when we are sad, entertain us when we are tired, enable us to set ourselves for more experience in life because life is sometimes serious and complex.

        Good books are the sound of wisdom through all ages. When we read them, we feel as if we are listening to wise and experienced people from different countries.

       Valuable books teach us how to live happily in society, how to deal with people, and how to face the obstacles which we might encounter in the future. Books are like true friends: they comfort us in time of sorrow By turning the pages of a good book, anger evaporates, sadness  vanishes, and we feel ourselves the happiest creature in the world.

     Simple men, wise men, sages, even the poets need to read because reading serves the different aspects of life. Reading amuses us in our loneliness and lifts us from bad moods of happiness and entertainment. Books vary in their importance to us ,and as Francis Bacon says: ”Some books are to be eaten, other to be swallowed and others to be digested, ”this quotation is taken from his famous essay ”of studies” which invites us to read wholly with diligence and attention.
