The Habit of Reading

The Habit of Reading
The man who is in habit of reading is never bored or alone. Many elderly retired people decry how to pass the time – now that it is available in plentiful. During the working life it is indeed a scarce commodity for which people keep longing for.
Televisions do not cater to their taste. In the old age it is difficult to learn anything new. They prefer to pass the time reclining in an easy chair gossiping with friends. But after some time the topics gets exhausted.
The period of boredom, loneliness, depression and irritation commences after that. It gradually not only adds to their age but also other ailments. Children do not have time for them. The regular friends’ visits become rare as they are also in the same physical and mental state of health.
The only and best alternative remains to read the books about which they had read or heard in the prime of youth age but had no time to read.
The introduction of internet library is the best solution to read those rare books. It does not require the company of near or dear ones or friends. Those who are sincerely interested in reading books can pass a good number of hours browsing through the books of their interest.
It hardly leaves time for boredom or loneliness. It keeps the mind also active and offers opportunities for learning new things.
