Why do you read?

[JBI]

Not reading is not possible in today's context, and of course every day can not go without reading something, and of course without engaged ourselves in books, for it has been an integral part of life and we can not do away with this habit, and this is really an important habit. If a good engages us we will have so many advantages, and we can keep ourselves from indulgences in baser elements.

I can not pass a single day, and always am occupied by books. Whenever I feel down as it is not unique to myself but to all that we feel down at times, and when I do feel I take to books, and of course in books I can find solace.

All I can find in books is a storehouse of imagination and a reservoir of inspiration and something to describe that I run short of words.

Today, I live with ideas, and of course without them it is difficult to go ahead commercially and also in our interaction in society. We need to be updated with social phenomena and it is indeed books that help us in every aspect and without books we are nowhere and we will have to trail behind. As such the role of a good book in shaping our minds, directing us is not calculable at all.

I was actually working in a grocery store when I was approached by someone, who by accent, and appearance appeared to be a native English speaker, approached me because he couldn't read what was written on a milk carton, and couldn't even get through the date, to find when it could be consumed by. In truth, it is possible to function without reading, but boy is it tiring/boring/strenuous. Better off learning to read in a few months than spending your life illiterate.

Better off learning to read in a few months than spending your life illiterate.

My naivete meter on that remark puts you somewhere between "If they don't have any bread, let them eat cake." and "Why don't all of these foreigners just learn to speak English?" You've been singularly blessed with educational opportunities, and as an educated man ought to realize that the rest of the world might not share in the same level of resources both human and financial which would allow them to pick up languages or skills the way you do. If a man has reached adulthood without learning to read, then he probably has mental or learning deficiencies coupled with extreme poverty. Besides the fact that language skills are best developed in early childhood and harder to acquire as we age, there's still the fact that if a person is illiterate then they will not have learned how to learn effectively thus prolonging the teaching process.
