Books are like ladders that help us grow as we fumble to get through life. When I talk of books, I do not limit my perspective to a specific kind of book. In fact, I am talking collectively about academic books, fiction, non-fiction, informative manuscripts and even comic books. Books are like a friend who helps you imagine and think beyond the boundaries of the real world. They let you live a life that you might never really have for yourself, and they help you grow into a person who is wise enough to read, understand, speak and write for the good of self and society.
