Books are a portal in which people may subscribe to in order to escape from the daily hectic life; to run away from the problems that may occupy their mind. To read is to follow that very meaning of being human; to gain knowledge. Books may delve deeper to humanity, to understand the world, to understand the beings, to understand other humans.

Unlike movies, books are infinite. Reading leaves space for imagination; the same book will not mean the same to any two individuals. The nature of language allows the play of words, the use of such words that allow double entendre, which in turn allows us to delve into our primal thoughts to further attach our emotions and allow our most primal part of our mind to interpret each and every word to understand the feelings of the writer.

Reading is not merely a choice; it is the way of life. To refuse to read is to exhaust yourself off the luxury of life. So pick up a book and let yourself be surrounded by the words as they lull yourself to the sense of fulfillment and calamity.
