I am fond of reading. In my opinion, books are a source of emotional inspiration and romantic feelings. Reading is very useful , because books enrich our experience with that of the other people. Besides, books help me to continue my own education. 
I am sure that a reader lives a richer life than a non-reader. The time spent on a good book is never wasted. Reading is a rewarding pastime. But some people think, that the tempo of modern life is too fast to waste time on reading.They are sure that books have begun to lose their prestige and value. I disagree. 
I cant imagine my life without reading. "Except a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book", said one clever man. And I share his opinion. Books teach us what is right and what is wrong, to understand the world and people in it, they mould our character and at the same time tell us exciting stories.
