Importance of books

 Books are like other basic necessities of our life .but In a nice quote it is said .
The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it. ~James Bryce
If we don't know the importance of a book ,how can you carry something away from it? we should realize the importance of books ,and give them as much respect as they deserve.
It is said that When you open a book, you open a new world. People who know the importance of these books always love to buy books than anything else in the world .Books have been around us since ages, even before they were available to the common man. Initially, books were read only by the upper classes or monks and scholars. At that time, books were exceptionally expensive and were copied by hand. It was only when the printing press was invented and Bible was printed that people became more familiar with books. By providing great amount of solutions and increasing our knowledge, books largely help in shaping our lives. Today, we can find umpteen options for reading apart from the good old hardbacks, such as encyclopedias, novels, diaries, magazines, and so on.But I can't understand why most of the people in the world are degrading the habit of reading books?why don't they love to buy books and visit to libraries and book stores frequently? A nice quote says that “You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” - Ray Bradbury After the invention of printing press ,Now digital media has been introduced. Today It is easier to buy books without going anywhere by digital eBooks or online way to buy books.and by the Digital Reading devices we don't need to keep a load of books every time.These devices can keep as many books as you want. the practice of reading books has to be instilled at an early age to educate the various concepts and skills with immense ease. A child is better able to think critically and analyze the skills and strategies that he comes across while reading a book, rather than when they are spoon-fed to him. Unless parents inculcate the habit of reading in themselves; they are least likely to pass on the same into their kids. In this busy modern world, parents often come up with the excuse of their demanding day to day work, hectic schedules and exasperating deadlines for not reading a book. However, know for sure that no reason is good enough for neglecting children . Reading books to children serve dual purpose. Not only does the act help you to spend quality time with children, but books also assist in developing good values in kids as well as educating them about their religion and the Almighty. Good readers can easily and effectively communicate (both oral and written) with others. Such skills are essential for improving an individual’s overall personality and persona in the eyes of the listeners. On the contrary, poor communication skills are not only difficult to understand, but also tend to leave a bad impression about the individual. Thus, regular reading of books is directly related to development and improvement of oral and written communication skills. It can be concluded that we should never neglect books and try to spend some money to buy books because books are the basic necessities of life like other things.
