* Reading makes a full man, conference a ready man, and writing makes an exact man. (Francis Bacon) From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful and lessen our troubles when we are sad. It gives us enjoyment and satisfaction. It inspires and motivates us to love more unconditionally, live more passionately and pursue our heartfelt dreams with more conviction. It sustains us in times of challenge, frustration and failure, and comforts us in times of confusion, pain and loneliness. Reading is to the man what exercise is to their body. (Richard Steele) Companion of Books A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men. A good book may be among the best friends. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversities or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting us and consoling us in age. The best books are treasuries of good words, and the golden thoughts, which are remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters. They introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; and we feel as if we were actors with them in the scene they describe。 Recommended English Books The Invisible Man by H.H.
