Book is Bread Also

 

Every since  was a child, I have always been fascinated with reading. Books easily became  my companion and libraries and book shops became my paradise. I admit that I may not be as voracious as the other readers out there but I recognize the importance of books to the development of a person.

 

 

 

While it has always been pointed out by many that reading books is important, not many people are really keen on reading. How can it be so hard to see the connection that in order to know more, you have to read more. Be curious and ask often. 

 

 

 

 

Today, there is an increasing number children who are not reading books in favor of playing computer games and other electronic toys. Indeed, the distraction of children in studying and reading books have indeed become more serious today than ever. Before, children are distracted because of too much playing, especially outside their houses. But today, children are left on the living room, watching TV all day and night long. Aside from too much TV, they have other electronic gadgets to play like play stations or computer games. They do not have any physical activity anymore. And this situation saddens me.
