Content: Sometimes it has been that I have tried to keep a book away but couldn't before completing it. As I'm a writer myself its kind of fascinating to get to know about the ideas that go through other people’s mind, the topics that I have not thought of till now and how differently different people can perceive, interpret and explain the same thing. I even sometimes try to think about the procession of thoughts the author must have gone through to reach here and what lead to the completion of this book in this certain way (though this is something unusual I know). I imagine the whole scenes in my mind and luckily remember them exactly everytime I think about that book, this is something that i really enjoy and I even used to do it with the small stories that used to be in my school readers. All in all it is a mind refreshing habit I'm stuck with since I was 9; yes I've been reading novels since then and it's something I can do even in the worst periods of my life to be happy and positive all the books I've collected so far are my best possessions. Hope this helps any non-reader in stepping into the world of books. Karthik S Shanmugam

"Books are a uniquely portable magic" -Stephen King
Ask any avid reader if he prefers a book or a movie and inevitably, the answer will be yes. Humans have thrived on stories since the beginning. Stories have always existed and books have become the best way to convey them.
