Books, as far as we know, are good. Knowledgeable people are often called “bookworms”. So what is it in books? What’s the magic that “sucks” people into them?

Firstly, there are so many kinds of books for us to choose from. Books come in all varieties — from scientific magazines to long mythological novels, from Geography reference books to paper-cutting instruction books. You can just choose whatever you like, pull it from a bookshelf, sit down, and read. We could delve deeper and deeper into one area of knowledge, or try books of different subjects. As time passes, you won’t feel bored or think, “Oh, time goes so slow — curse Kronos for that!” because you are reading what you like, and you feel as though you are being sucked into a deep hole, unable to climb out — all because of happiness.

Secondly, books often combine both knowledge and fun. Reading the best books often gives you the sensation that you are playing and having fun. But after closing the book — Ding! — you realize that you’ve gained more knowledge than before. So you think, wow — according to the beloved Athena, knowledge always comes with a price, but I gained knowledge while playing! So let’s read more! Whoosh! The magic pulls you in, and you are under the spell of books — a spell that always makes you want to read more.

Last but not least, books give you the power to calm down and find peace. You may think that meditating and yoga also do the work, but it’s not quite the same as what books do. Reading a book requires calming down and concentration. You should keep your heart at peace and avoid thinking of other distracting things. As the stream of time flows, currents lapping and swirling, you are sunk — not into the time stream, but into the book. For now, the noise, shouting, fighting, the oily smoke from the kitchen — all seem far away from you. They seem to be behind a mist, and you are in the book, unaware of anything happening around you. Good job! Now you are in the best part of reading: calm and relaxation fill you, and you have achieved tranquility, rest, and peace. Give a warrior just back from battle a peaceful book to read, and he would be happier than you expected.

So, dearest friends, let us do the same thing — pick up a good book and just read it, letting the mighty magic of books flow freely in your body, influencing you and your whole life for the long term.
