Good books are the brick and mortar that had hold civilization together.  Books have kept alive the past and they also enliven the present.

What is a book? A written book is what someone has seen, felt, imagined, experienced or discovered in words to convey to you the knowledge and information.  Therefore, reading helps you contact the great minds of the past and of the present.  Through reading, you learn to compare with Shakespeare, invest with Warren Buffett, reason with Plato, innovate with Steve Job, meditate with Emerson, visualize with Jefferson, observe with Burroguhs, weigh with Bacon, think with Socrates, judge with Lincoln and dramatize with Churchill.
