Fading passion

Published July 1, 2015

BOOK reading among the young is fading fast nowadays. Today, the young are more attracted towards social networking sites, video games, cell-phones, etc.

What youths don’t realize is that reading books builds your vocabulary. It increases your quality of conversation, it stimulates your creativity and it also increases your concentration level.

So keeping in view the benefits of reading, we must all read books. It was Mark Twain who said: “The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.”
