Reading has always been a passion of mine. It’s simple, inexpensive, and always accessible. Philosophers advise that we should strive for whatever is within our power to obtain. This is the quickest path to contentment and joy.
The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.
Mark Twain
Reading is amazing. It lets us explore ideas and perspectives from around the world. It’s almost like teleporting to anywhere in the world. But it’s even better — it’s also like a time machine! We can engage with people who lived centuries ago.
