Answers
Explanation:
Books record what wise men have heard, seen, thought or discovered. The eternal truths are recorded in good books. They instruct us in our youth and comfort us in our old age.
Francis Bacon says: “Reading make a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man”.
Reading habit is one of the best characteristics that a man can possess. Once the habit of reading books grows in one, it seldom dies out. It is said that a book is one’s best friend in life. By reading a good book, one can not only earn knowledge but also gain experience in life, and realize the eternal truth. A good book can guide one in the right direction in his life’s journey.
The taste of reading’ should be acquired early in life, because a good book refreshes one’s mind and bring immense pleasure.
Just to read any book, whatever comes near at hand, is not to be called a good reading habit, because worthless books can not provide knowledge. It is only the good books that can provide innocent joy and pure wisdom that one aspires. So there must be a proper selection of books which are to be read.
R. W. Emerson has cited three practical rules in this regard:
1. Never read any book that is not a year old.
