Do you like entering bookstores 'just to see what they have', only to end up buying the whole store and having no money left? Then these memes are definitely made for you.

Books are a necessity. I stand by that. People not only need to read to make their brains function, but they also need to experience literature for its own sake. Readers and non-readers need to discover and enjoy the art behind the books, the story behind the words. Reading isn't only a hobby you do on the beach while on vacation. It is an activity that should be part of most of your life. You, as a human being, need to get involved with a book, either learn from it, open your horizons, or at least enjoy a good read.

I hate the people who say they don't need to read; that they can just watch the movie. That is not the same thing at all. You are talking about two different art forms that have nothing to do with each other. They can have the same story as the basis of it, but they are definitely not the same. One gets you interpolated into a new world by the words. The author thought through before writing every single word, having in mind a place and people that you are only capable of imagining through the words they chose to make you imagine it. A film has a bigger team behind it that makes sure that your vision and the director's are almost the same. The character will be portrayed exactly how the director wanted, not like your brain imagines through a list of characterizations that were spread in little details throughout the whole book. You can definitely enjoy the movie adaptation of a book more than the book itself, but that doesn't mean that one is the other. They are still two different and independent forms of art. As I said, an opposite experience.

Reading a book is such a great activity, but I get the fact that not everyone sees the fun in it. For those people for whom the idea of picking up a book and reading it seems impossible, I have some advice. If you say you don't like any book at all, then you are doing it all wrong. You aren't going to enjoy every single boook your read, but you will at least enjoy one. You just need to find the genre that you like, an author whose writing skills you like reading. This can only be found by trying books; reviews may be helpful as a way to shorten the list of to be read books, but to fully know, you will just need to sit and read. So good luck on that challenge, and please give a chance to that book you bought years ago, expecting one day to have the time to read it. Start tonight, read 30 minutes, and see what happens. I promise you, when the right book enters your life, it changes it forever.
