          I have observed that readers may or may not be writers. However, almost all writers are readers. I may not go as far as saying that I am a writer but yes, I like to write. And thus, books are my true love and reading is my favorite thing in the whole world.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>          In my opinion, books are the most precious and immortal literature a person can own. Books are an escape from reality. They are beautiful yet scary, slow-paced yet adventurous, devastating yet romantic little time travelling kits. They make us fall in love with fictional characters. They make us home-sick of the fictional abodes. They make us wonder about happily ever afters and prince charmings. And sometimes, they completely change our lives.<\/span>

<\/span>          I have read some books which have been very dear to me. ‘The Diary Of A Young Girl-Anne Frank’ touched me deeply. ‘The Perks Of Being A Wallflower’ by Stephen Chbosky connected me in all the humanly ways possible. ‘The Book Thief’ by Markus Zusak gave me an out-of-the-world experience and an insight about death. ‘Looking For Alaska’ by John Green had me wondered about an after-life and forgiveness. ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ by John Green made me believe in love. These books and I have our own little world and I rejoice in it and feel more alive than I feel around people.<\/span>

          Reading is something that I will choose again and again. It may not be cool or popular to some people but I find it a self-evolving and soul-searching process for the peace of mind. I can count on books, no matter what other things are going on in my life and I know that they won’t let me down. There is an unbreakable bond between books and readers.<\/span>

<\/span>          For all I know, reading is not just a hobby and books are not just bind pages.Our favorite books define us more than we think. They are like a well; the deeper we see, clearer will be our minds. Books help us in building our thoughts, making us intellectually older, forming our own perspective, developing imagination and making us a little more wiser than we were before we started them. <\/span>Books will be our best friends who will gift us with great wonders. So, go and grab a book!<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
