“Reading: Forgotten Pleasure?”

Not long ago new modern technology came into our lives. My friends think that a modern man cannot imagine life without a computer. You can quickly find the information you need on the Internet. Why to use so much time on reading?

In my opinion a book is the most important part of our lives. Reading helps me to grow as a person, expands my views about life, and influences my life decisions. It is not true that people forgot about reading. I read the discussion about books in net works. My mates share their opinions about books they have recently read. I come across the rating of modern books. When I saw it I got a wish to find out what kind of books are they. To be honest I felt a bit ashamed. There are so many books about different things and I haven’t read it yet!

Some time ago people did not have phones, computers, and they went to the library to borrow a lot of fine books. They shared books with each other, discussed their point of view in relation to the main characters and described their feelings after reading the book. However, only a few people still go to the libraries nowadays. As for me I am a lucky person. I have got a good library just in our school. The librarian is a real bibliophile. Some time ago we had a conference which was devoted to a famous poet Pasternak. We read his biography and recited poems. After the conference my friends and I borrowed books to learn more about him and his works.

To conclude with everyone should not forget that a book is a source of joy and sorrow. The book contains thousand mysteries and thousands of answers, hundreds of broken hearts and millions of happy ends. It goes without saying that each book will find its readers. Reading is not only useful it also saves you from boredom. I hope my dream to write my own book come true some day.
