Reading, for me, is something I cannot exclude from life. It's like having friends you might not find in real life. They speak to you, tell you stories, share their deepest secrets and fears, sorrow and beauty; they bring you something invaluable — empathy. Books are the ones that can tell us more about life, transport us to different worlds.
