Do you read books? Do you read at least one book a month? Not many of us have that good habit of reading books. With more and more things demanding our attention and time, we have less and less time to read. It is becoming rarer to find people who have read classics. Who have read shakespeare. Who read novels by authors. We seem to read mails, blogs and more and more even that is fading into reading just the sms and the twitter versions of being connected.

But, reading books gives us an understanding of the world. We cannot afford to learn everything by our own experience. Books come with the collective experience of the authors and hence we learn, vicariously, through those words, the invaluable experience of those people who share their understanding and their experience with us.
