Afterwards, in bed with a book, the spell of television feels remote compared to the journey into the page. To be in a book. To slip into the crease where two pages meet, to live in the place where your eyes alight upon the words to ignite a world of smoke and peril, colour and serene delight. That is a journey no one can end with the change of a channel. Enduring magic. AnnMarie MacDonald
About This Quote

After a day at work, a lot of people would like to sit down and relax with a good book. However, the internet has changed the way we consume entertainment. Now, most people are too busy with their online lives to read a book. Watching TV doesn’t sound like much fun compared to reading a book.

As opposed to TV or playing games, reading is something that can go on for hours. It’s relaxing and engaging at the same time. It’s one of the ways people pass time in this fast-paced society.

People who enjoy reading will find it difficult to stop when they want to read more books. Reading can be very exciting, even adventurous sometimes. With all these benefits, reading is very important in our lives today.
