Innumerable people have stressed on the importance of reading, and if you want to understand something that’s totally new to you, a good book is often the best first step. While some call reading fun, and other others liken it to some form of discipline, one thing no one denies is there is something magical, an unexplainable feeling that takes over your conscious existence – when you are reading good prose. You may wonder why we are extolling the virtues of books, and that’s because today just happens to be World Book Day and Copyright Day.
