Reading culture

With the rapid technological advancement today’s youth appear to be drifting away from books. Most of the young people are seen busy using Facebook, Twitter or WhatsApp. I am not against the use of these applications but the importance of reading should not be ignored. Books play an important role in personality building. I would like to share an interesting quote I read somewhere.

“We lose ourselves in what we read, only to return to ourselves, transformed and part of a more expansive world.”

Sometimes, reading brings about a revolutionary change in the outlook of a person. The habit of reading is the best pastime. It can keep a person busy when he has nothing else to do. The xxxxxxxx who are in the habit of xxxxxxxx , not only make the best use of their spare time but they will keep their minds away from the worries that might chase them if they sit brooding, doing nothing.

A good book, for a reader, is better than visiting the best of gardens and scenic places. xxxxxxxx are one of the best tools for training and upbringing. A good xxxxxxxxx has a salutary effect on the mind of a reader and elevates spirits and thoughts.
