Read. Contradict. Confute. Believe. Take for granted. Weigh and Consider!


'Why should we read?' That's what most people are asking themselves. I think we all should read so that we pass through life with a bit of knowledge.
But what do we read? Books, magazines, newspapers. Comic books and reviews. Fairytales, if you want. The important thing is that we need to stop throwing books away and shut down the computer.
Reading is what we all need to form our own culture, to have a decent conversation and to understand things.
Someone once said it all begins with a word. A word can mean more than a thousand actions; we say 'Mom' when we are babies, we say 'Yes' when we marry and 'Goodbye' when we die. It all begins and ends with a word.
Let's not waste the magic of all those works that stay in the library and wait for us. Let's not wait for the teacher to force us read! All we have to do is to find something we like: romance, drama, horror - it doesn't matter what our tastes are.
And, in the end, you will see how it all works. You are going to feel better after reading something instead of staying several hours playing on the computer.
