Books - Good Bad and the Ugly

With the end of the Colombo Book fair I thought of writing about books, it's good bad and the ugly pages.
Reading has been encouraged in this part of the world as a powerful tool and the only tool for learning (this was way before internet and multimedia teaching materials were popular). However like everything, Books and Reading has its good, bad and ugly sides to it.

The Good

• You do learn a lot - Yes this is true, you get to learn a lot
• You can kill your time - While going on a bus, waiting for someone or to kill the idle time, this is the ideal thing to do. 
• Peaceful - You don't have to depend on anyone, you can do it by yourself. 

The Bad

• Forgetting - However good or fast you are in reading, it will be of no use if you are unable to recall what you have read. Imagine you read a book on First Aid and when you try to apply it and you forget the series of steps. 
• Rate of being an Introvert increases - If you are addicted to reading the last thing you want to do is to talk with visitors who visit your home or to go out of your house (or library for that matter)

The Ugly

• Reading is not something that you can do for a long time
• Reading may not be possible as you age, naturally your eyesight might be weak and as a result your interest to read will go away with time - At that time you will always want someone who reads to stop it and talk

Yet with all that Reading is an act that we all do at some point of time providing your literal.

Therefore enjoy your reading !!
