I love Books and I am Passionate about them than many people I know and It really puzzles me why many people in general never read another book after college.
There’s so much to be gained from reading books all the worlds wisdom is in books .If you need real inspiration ,knowledge or wisdom the first and best place to look is in books .
You may like sites like Zen Habits or Dumb Little Man or any other Motivational kind of blog ,but let me remind you all of these bloggers derive knowledge and inspiration from books only. anything written by great thinkers in the past is often only available in books.With out books world would have been a much dumber place all we all will be in deep Darkness .
If I’ve not convinced you yet, here are just some great reasons to pick up a book regularly:
Reading a book is a kind of massage therapy ,it relaxes your mind and if that's a fictional book like Harry Potter,for some time you will get a chance to become child forget all your worries and Believe that Life is so Magical and Beautiful !
And don’t dismiss books as less entertaining and exciting than television and movies. Words can do things which images and sound can’t: they can take us deep into a character’s mind, delight us with cunning wordplay, and deliver a much deeper, richer story than is possible in an hour-long episode of your favorite show. And, of course, books don’t break off every fifteen minutes for a commercial…
Now, despite having loads of great reasons to read more books, many of us (myself included) complain that “there just isn’t time.” But it’s always possible to make time for something important. Here’s a few ideas:
Do you read as many books as you’d like to? What reasons do you have for reading books (or for not reading books!) and what tips do you have on making time to do so?

Change of Mood
We live in a busy world and some times we are happy and most of the times we are not ,Life and its unexplainable ways takeover us .In times like these reading a book will refresh you mood .Reading a book is a kind of massage therapy ,it relaxes your mind and if that's a fictional book like Harry Potter,for some time you will get a chance to become child forget all your worries and Believe that Life is so Magical and Beautiful !
Entertainment
Books are also hugely entertaining. You might be reading a thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat, a sci-fi novel that sets out a brilliantly imaginative view of the future, a biography of a colorful historical figure, or a scientific book that opens up a new world. If you struggle through the first thirty or forty pages of a book and you’re bored, it’s worth seriously considering picking something else (don’t feel obliged to finish a novel just because you’ve started it).And don’t dismiss books as less entertaining and exciting than television and movies.

Here’s a few ideas:
Schedule Your Reading
Whenever you want to fit something into your life that you’d like to do but never get around to, it’s worth scheduling it. That can seem a bit silly for something like “reading”, but it really does work. How about setting aside half an hour every evening (maybe before dinner) to read?Turn off the Distractions
How much TV do you watch every day? Can you find an extra half-hour to read, simply by switching off the TV? If you’re like me and spend much more time glued to a computer screen than a television screen, how about switching off the computer at a set time each night (nine pm works well), then reading for the rest of the evening? You might even find that you sleep better when your mind isn’t buzzing from emails, Facebooks or Twitters and trying to keep up with the never-sleeping online world.
