Like drinks make you forget your problems, Books make you wanderer and not all those who wander are lost. Books could do wonders one cannot imagine. As we all know books teach one or the other things. Some teach us to believe in fairy tales while some teach us to accept ground reality. Books give you advice and never leave you when a friend may.

There are various genres you could choose from. Whatever suits you, you can opt for that. It is not necessary that if you have seen a friend or relative or someone close to you reading a different genre book, you have to do that. Learn to make your own decision regarding what book to read. There would be many books about which people will say, “Oh why are you reading this book?” Do not let them talk otherwise. Say “At least I am better than people not reading any kind of books.”

I personally am a reader and my favorite books are:

Death Du Jour by Kathy Reichs,

Who moved my cheese by Spencer Johnson,

A walk to remember by Nicholas Sparks,

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer,

Parineeta by Sharat Chandra,

I heart New York by Lindsey Kelk

Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma by Jane Austen.

I am extremely proud of my choices and if you are a reader, you should be too. Many times people who read biographies and autobiographies or other intellectual books make fun of me by saying,

“Why do you read fairy tales, you are 25 years old”

 “Stop reading fictions and fantasies and romance books, you will get nothing”

 “It’s high time you start reading some good books related to your profession”

“This book will just take you back to dreamland and now you cannot afford to be immature anymore”

I never let people influence my choices. The books I have read gave me hope to be what I want to be in my life. They have helped me to become mature over a period of time. Some books I read gave me lessons that what I should not read.

Because I have read bad books, I value which are the good ones. No matter what do not ever stop reading books because it is a continuous process and not just one time activity.

It is said that “if a person has bigger in house library, he is a learner, others have big televisions”
