This is not an advertisement. It is the speech of man with unhumanoid friends - books. Yes, those dusty little creatures are like dogs, you know. They are equally reliable and understanding. But a book doesn't need a walk, does it?
The man speaking here has got some experience. Maybe not much, but quite enough to know this: reading books is like lucid dream with no logical frames. Time, reality, human mind and one's personal senses are astonishingly shape-shifting, growing into multi-dimensional journey to everywhere and nowhere.
Sounds bizarre? Crazy? Or maybe encouraging?
Sure. Thinking through that man's words is enough to be curious. He has already told you about the thing of travelling, but forgot to give you benefits, that clumsy guy he is. Probably he is just overwhelmed by the multiple number of reading advantages. Here are some:
- your vocabulary becomes vast
- you start thinking more analytical and logical
- you develop your memory
- you improve your concentration
- your talking and writing become a thing of epic or even poetry
- you reduct stress
- you expanse your knowledge
- you escape the sadness, routine and boredom
- you notice the increase of imagination, creativity and sensitivity
What is more wonderful, you probably saw the comparison between 90's and today, when now a standard cell phone is the compilation of many other gadgets, such as calculator, camera, computer, MP3 player etc. I highly doubt that every book is an underrated compilation of some peculiar, fictional inventions, for example a time machine, a transporter. As you see, those special but unreal masterpieces are certainly available for us. Come to think of it.
Now, to conclude the speech, I want to gift you with these inspiring quotes:
-"Once you learn to read you will be forever free." - Frederick Douglass
-"Books are a uniquely portable magic." - Stephen King
-"There is no friend as loyal as a book." - Ernest Hemingway
-"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one." - George R.R. Martin
-"We read to know we're not alone." - William Nicholson
