   on people's mind is great. Regular reading enriches your knowledge of the

   arouses lots of feelings and emotions in your heart. If you take to reading,
   the world of other people's ideas and problems becomes familiar to you. The
   process of reading demands lots of thinking on the part of the reader because
   reading exists not only for entertainment.
