    Why do we need to read books?

  Books are one of the most important sources of knowledge, inspiration and beauty in the world. They combine the bad and the good, the magic and the reality, creating some marvelous worlds, amazing characters and unbelievable stories.
   Reading is a really usefull hobby, which gives you the oportunity to dream with your eyes open, to travel around the world and have some great adventures without leaving your cozy bed. It helps us improve our personality along with our vocabulary, imagination and behaviour. Having a book by your side anywhere you go, is like having a very good friend near you, anytime you get bored you can just open it and feel like you are speaking with your mates. It is also a great weapon, especially if the book you carry around has more than 600 pages and a hard cover. : If you read you can be sure that you will be able to give a reply in any conflict, and beating your enemies with your intelligence is even more meritorious. What is even more laudatory is buying and collecting books, because it is such an amazing feeling having all of those wonderful lives on your bookshelf, having so many breaths and fictional smiles. I honestly believe that a person who reads is mandatory a good, generous and open-hearted person, because, let's be honest, who would have time for misdoings, sins, gossip, alcohol and drugs when you so many books on your ”To be read” pile.
   That being said, I proudly say that I am reader. And I do that not because I don't have a life, but because I choose to have many.
