“Except for a living man there is nothing more
wonderful than a book! They teach us and open their hearts to us as brothers”,
wrote Charles Kingsley, an English writer of the 19th century.
Books
teach us to live. We learn many things by reading books. There are different
kinds of books: novels, short stories, poems, plays, memoirs, atlases and
textbooks.
Books
can be humorous, adventurous, detective, fantastic, historical, political,
scientific. They can be interesting, thrilling, fascinating, exciting,
powerful, useful, unusual, original, amusing, moving, true-to-life,
well-written, unoriginal.
Books
are certainly one of the greatest inventions of men.
