“Books are the best friends you can have; they inform you, and entertain you, and they don’t talk back.” – John Steinbeck.
Books are a treasure. They are full of knowledge. You are never alone if a good book is accompanying you because it can take you to another world of imagination and art. Many people who feel tired or depressed prefer reading a book in that state because reading is an escape from all sort of worries and weariness.
Although we have our loved ones and friends around us all the time with whom we can share our thoughts or learn things, but not better than what we can learn from books. Friends might betray us, or push us towards wrong whereas a book inculcates the sense of right and wrong in our minds.
We learn a lot of new things from reading. Not just vocabulary and good things, but they have morals, and experiences of learned men; which sometimes relate to our lives. And it is true that the more you are going to read a single book, the more you’ll learn. Every time you will extract something new out of it.
It is far better to read a book than talking unnecessarily to people and involving in controversial conversations because reading improves concentration power and changes perspectives of viewing the world. In addition, books have the capacity to keep you engaged.
To know the world, it is not important to be friends with new people, but what’s more important is to read books which tell you all about the world. About different people, their mindsets, and ways to deal with everything. In short, they are a complete source of knowledge.
