Why Continue Reading a Book

Now that we have the internet, where every bit of information is available by the mere click of our finger, is there still a need to read books?

One thing that books do is that it relaxes and de-stresses like no other gadget can. A real book, kindle, or any other reading device, can provide an easy escape from the harsh reality of life. A book is the best companion you can have while alone or waiting for someone at the train station. A book can immediately transport you to beautiful places even if you do not travel at all.

There are several writers and authors who will inspire you to read books. They may motivate you to write novels or at least appreciate writers. Reading their books will also give you an idea of how it is to be a writer or that kind of life a writer lives. The life of a writer is exciting and a very fun way of sharing your ideas and thoughts with the world.

I often read Grisham novels which mostly deal with lawyers and either about their exciting or boring life.  I also read memoirs and biographies of famous persons in history. The lives of scientists, entrepreneurs, and businessmen are also worth the time reading. Just reading how these people overcome challenges would give valuable life lessons. The reader would be enlightened on how to be successful in life.
