In the words of C.S. Lewis “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me”.
Books have the ability to take you to places without you even moving your feet.
You just don’t read the book you dive into that universe you live the life of the character. Only a reader to gets to live a thousand lives.
Voracious readers would have read thousands of books and they easily distinguish between the classics and teen fictions.
But if you are not a reader, we suggest you do a bit of light reading to not only gain knowledge but also to see the world from a different perspective. It is absolutely true the one who isn’t open to reading is always close and you definitely don’t want to be that person.
Some of you might feel books are boring but trust me books are anything but boring once you are sucked into the world of words and tales there is no way you are turning back.
