In my opinion reading books is very important for human.Reading develops human's intellect. If you read much, you'll think, talk and discuss better. Your fantasy faculty is developing, because in reaading time you create in your mind portraits of personages and that place, where's happening book's act.
Books learn us many things. If even things that we can use in our life. For example, after reading ,,Robinson Crusoe", I already know how to cinduct like situation. ,,The Hunger Games" learns me that hope is the the only thing, stronger than fear and that I must never surrender. ,,Cloth First" has shown me why is goodness most important... And I can endless enumeration these books, which learn me something and leave something inside myself.
Books make us think about many things... It shows us our bad or good, positive or negative properties. Maybe we find ourselves in some personages and found and correct our mistakes.
