The pleasure of reading #1 (permalink) Tue Jan 04, 2011 4:13 am   The pleasure of reading
 

there is no end to the sources of pleasure. One like cooking, another may like drawing, playing piano, so on. But reading for pleasure belongs to a higher order and stands as a category by itself. Reading brings pleasure to the mind. Greater the mind is cultured , greater will be the pleasure derived from reading for reading makes a full man.
Now reading material is available for all tastes. A scholar may go through serious writing for the sake of enriching his knowledge. Another may read a magazine or a picture book for whiling away the time. One chooses the reading material according to his moods, his literary background, the time at his disposal and the purpose if any. A teenager may like stories of romance and an old man may prefer books on philosophy and religion. Some gifted with imagination and the faculty to reflect may read poetry.
The world is infinite but the man is very small. So, the greatest advantage in reading is when one comes across great minds. Whether you agree with that is there to read or do not agree there will not be any quarrel. It is important that you can find new things through the book.
Imagine you are given the proper atmosphere like a good silent place, soft light and comfortable seat, you can read and read and enjoy eat. It is very great, isn't it?
Reading is a good habit. Therefore, in order to enjoy reading, one must cultivate that habit. It can be ennobling. The is dignity in the reading habit.
