Well, I'm a high school librarian so here goes:\n\nBooks can transform your life. I've seen students with no goals who have read about a career and realized it is what they want to do with their lives (such as becoming a paramedic, police officer etc). These students have told me without reading about these careers, they never would have given them a second thought.\n\nBooks can take you away from your own life and teach you about other people and places in the world. I've learned about life in the United Kingdom, experiences of a World War Two vetran, life in a concentration camp and the world of the Hell's Angels thanks to books.\n\nOne good book can make you want to read others. I've had loads of students who come in and say, "I don't like reading but I need a book". My favourite books to offer students target their possible interests. Some very popular books are biographies such as Black Like Me, Go Ask Alice, Into the Abyss (on the Hell's Angels) and katie.com. I love it when students return and tell me how much they've enjoyed something I've suggested to them and love it even more when they come back and want to read again!\n\nReading can change your life. Whether you choose to read graphic novels, biographies or How to Custom Weld Damn Near Anything you can't go wrong when you pick up a book!

If you read merely because you feel you must you are unlikely to get anything out of it.  If you are intersted in what you are reading, then you will be more like to get something out of it and in someway apply whatever it is you learned to you life.

Aside from the personal growth and enjoyment derived from said pursuit, reading is empowering and opens many doors.  In our recent past, slaves were rarely provided opportunity to learn to read. This was to maintain a level of oppression. In some countries today, women and children are similarly stifled.\n\nReading opens our minds, and provides educational opportunities otherwise unattainable... which can broaden and change our lives.

Books can become "friends" to us when they serve to keep us company and accomplish other useful ends such as educate, amuse, inform, convince, motivate, or even change our perspectives in life. They are always there when we need them.

1. The story is true.\n2. It describes not entertains.\n3. If it is a library book, it has a number rather than all  letters.

In what society? What country? Around here, reading, pop literature, etc. is considered cool. Being able to discuss what you have read is even cooler.\n\nThe only people I have ever seen put down reading are usually those of limited intelligence.

I'm a speed reader,but I don't think it's wise to speed read for pleasure.it defies the purpose to me.sometimes it's better to take your time and do it right.

Either play on Answers or read. But lately I've had nothing to read except books I've already read many times, so answers wins.

So what if you are.  You will learn so much by reading!  Forget what other people think about that.  I'm sure you do other things for fun.  Reading a book is so much better than seeing a movie.  Reading is not popular in this day, so consider yourself to be at an advantage over those who don't read.

Read good books. Also, don't give up.  Even if the book seems boring, persist in getting past the first few pages/chapters.

If you're reading for fun, of course you can do what you want.  If you're trying to learn about the literature of a particular time and/or place, though, it's important to read the major texts.\n\nOne of the tricks is in finding a reason for reading.  When the text is fun, the reason to read is because it's fun.  When the text isn't fun, the reason has to be something else.  One reason for readings texts like these is to understand why others would like them.  Another reason is to understand the tastes of people at the time the text was written.  If for no other reason, you might read the texts in order to be able to speak with authority about your dislike of them.  (Think about how it sounds when someone says a movie is bad and then admits that she/he hasn't seen the film.)\n\nOnce you have your PhD, you can pick and choose the texts you want to focus on (though you may end up teaching classes in which you have to cover the less interesting ones).  Up to that point, you have to find a way to deal with the "boring" stuff.

I recommend movies with close caption.  Books that are interesting and related to topics the person finds interesting.  Make him read short perios (15 minutes), then have him wrtie a short composition about the book he was reading.  Show him what kind of sentences he is using, and compare them to the gramatical structure of the book.

That was actually one of my favorite books. You just sparked a memory! You have 2 days. It's not that big of a book. Read it, really!

Why are you asking everyone else, you must know if you like it yourself? It's like asking 'should I like eating chocolate' or 'should I like watching football?' \n\nIf you don't know because you've never tried it, give it a go. Books are the most varied things in the world. If you have an interest in something, there will be a book about it. Books can give you knowledge and take you to amazing imaginary places where you can experience all kinds of adventures.\n\nThere are wordy, lengthy books and books you can read in half an hour. It's up to you what you choose. Go into a bookshop and see what takes your fancy.
