Philosophically speaking (as some may call it), Books are a
real treasure house of knowledge and ideas. Books
are an excellent companion and always act as the fall back whenever the need
arises for that. I have grown up on diet of good books and they always acted as
my guide and my savior too whenever I needed one to get back on my feet. There’s
a learning (at least one) hidden in every book and all we need to do to find
that is to open our minds when we read. Some books are like magic which leave
us awestruck in disbelief and some are like a mystery which unravels itself as
we read it. Books have a mesmerizing effect and real book lover is always living
in trance and always creating a masterpiece in their lives and in the lives of
others. In my opinion, the best gift that we can give to anyone is the power to
read.
Every book is like a new adventure and the only thing you need to backpack is the “power of reading”.
Beyond the philosophical realms, there is also a strong scientific
evidence about the power of books and reading and the benefits that they bring to us. Here are few of those
