Is it worth reading books, since nowadays there are so many other forms of entertainment?
Some people say that even paperback books are expensive, and not everyone can borrow books from a library. They might add that television is more exciting and that viewers can relax as they watch their favourite programmes.
All that may be true, but books are still very popular. They encourage the reader to use his or her imagination for a start. You can read a chapter of a book, or just a few pages, and then stop. Of course, it may be so gripping that you can’t stop!
There are many different kinds of books, so you can choose a crime novel, or an autobiography, or a book which gives you interesting information. If you find it hard to choose, you can read reviews, or ask friends for ideas.
Personally, I really like reading books, but I can give up television easily enough. You can’t watch television at bus stops!
