I have developed an interest in reading from my father, who is a voracious reader. He reads on diverse subjects and is able to take part in conversations on most matters under the sun.
Reading Never Leaves Us Alone
Bacon said, “Reading maketh a full man; writing an exact man, and conference a ready man.” Reading is an essential basic skill building activity. One’s language fluency is determined by the quality of reading. Besides, vocabulary enrichment, ideas collection, familiarization with different types of writing formats, speaking fluency, etc, all depend upon reading. In all cultures and civilizations, much stress is laid on reading. Schools, colleges, and other academic institute use reading as a major tool in imparting education to students. However, in the modern times, this activity is being ignored.
All great men and women have been great readers. In her novel THE STORY OF MY LIFE Helen Keller tells us the magic of reading books. Helen plays a glowing panegyric to books and the enlightening role they played in her otherwise dark life. in chapter 21 of her novel ‘The Story of My Life’ she shares with the audience the deep influence she had from the books since her childhood. She calls books her ‘friends’.
It is true a person who has the reading habit, never feels lonely and bored. The books open up a magical world for him or her and he lives among angels in the pages of the books. Books never let go the readers astray. They make them wise and pragmatic. We must endeavour to develop this fabulous habit of reading.
