Humans are such sensitive beings and it is very difficult to understand how people have become impassive to experiences nowadays. It is almost as if they believe that being unsusceptible is a quality that one should possess in today’s world. I speak this because nowadays importance is being given to things like technology and partying etcetera which is good to an extent but due to this books, novels, poems, literature and art are taking a backseat. Nobody is able to take out time and appreciate the beauty of reading a book and appreciating the various emotions it invokes in a reader.

When one reads , it is just like a treat given to the heart and food to the soul. This is all because of the fact that a reader can experience emotions which he has not yet encountered in the real world but that is the beauty of it that you can still feel the emotions penned down in a book.

A voice gives a novel the ability to transform from a 2 dimensional page into a world where characters have personalities, and scenes feel tangible. Suddenly instead of just looking at a page, the reader is experiencing the story behind the words!…

    Reading was something I was practically raised on as a child. My dad made sure that my younger sister and I were read to every single night before he tucked us in, passing down a tradition that he believed had aided in shaping his own childhood. I distinctly remember my simple mind roaming along in the lands of Narnia and Middle Earth as such books instilled in me a restless sense of adventure and a longing to learn.

Yet books to me were journies completely separate from my own world and I could never seem to envision them as anything more than a source of entertainment.…
