THE KIND OF BOOKS WE SHOULD READ

We should be careful in selecting our reading materials. The blessings which the reading habit brings on the reader are many.

When choosing correctly, reading gives us pleasure. Some books we read are simply for pleasure and amusements- for example, good novels and books of imagination must have their place in everybody’s reading. When we are fired or weary with serious study, it is a healthy racer all on to read a story written by a great man.

But reading always nothing but books of fiction is like eating nothing but cakes. As we need plain, wholesome food for the body, so we must have serious reading for the mind. And here we can choose according to our taste. There are many good books on history, biography, travel, science and religion. these are the books we must read.
