I'm of the opinion that reading is of the utmost importance and that it should be fostered as a hobby for everyone. The importance of reading relates to the consumption of knowledge mainly but it also can bring much pleasure. Even fiction can teach and challenge you as an individual and stimulate your mental capacities

When was the last time your read a book? What's the last book you read? What's the most difficult book you've ever read? What's the longest book you've ever read? Do you enjoy reading? Do you read to learn as well as for pleasure? What was the first book your remember reading and enjoying?


Speaking purely of stories, fictions or otherwise, I can not live without a good story. I'm sullen when I finish a good story because I'm cast out of a world and parted from friends that I've come to love and often feel I've spent a life time with. he only time I'm without a story to be lost in is when I'm reading something related to my field or some classic piece of literature.

“There is no friend as loyal as a book.” – Ernest Hemingway
“Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.” — Mark Twain
