Books in Our Life
Nowadays
it's almost impossible to imagine our life without books. Perhaps, there are
more books on our planet than men alive. Long before the invention of printing
people valued books as treasure troves of the human knowledge and experience.
Hand — written manuscripts took months of writing and were collected by and
kept in monasteries with utmost care. We can distinguish books between three
classes of them. Firstly, books on different branches of knowledge, works by brilliant
minds of mankind. Secondly, textbooks, reference books and numerous dictionaries.
And at last, books of all kinds and genres to read at leisure. Classics should
be taken a little at a time. One's understanding of books by Tolstoy and
Dostoyevsky, Mopassan and Balzak depends on one's age and experience. Serious
books are to be read conscientiously and maybe more than once. To a thinking
reader they will provide new food for thought every time he rereads it. Many
people indulge in reading science fiction, fantasy or detective stories. Of
course, there are some advantages and disadvantages of this kind of literature,
often reffered to as "easy reading". As for me, good science fiction
and fantasy develop imagination, logical thinking, broader one's outlook. The
same could be said in favour of detective stories. They reveal such minute
details of everyday life in this or that particular country that are of
greatest interest for a curious reader. The masterpieces of this genre by Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie and others, show the depths of
psychological analysis, the insight into the human nature. As an old saying
goes, man cannot live on bread alone. Books are the source of knowledge and the
means of self — perfection. Sometimes it is difficult to solve some problems in
life. I think that books can help us. Books must be our Friends during all our
life.
