Do you read books for yourself or for others?

Books read not only for yourself but also others.
Why?
For youself, you read, you adsorb, you learn, you apply, you gain, you recover, you live.
For others, you read and influence and they use and apply and gain and recover and live.
Books for everyone.
Read a book and spread wide and help the world.
Read a page if you cannot read a book
Read a sentence if you cannot read a page
Read a word if you cannot read a page
Read a letter if you cannot read a word
When you can read a letter,
learn to read a word,
When you can read a word,
learn to read a sentence,
When you can read a sentence,
learn to read a page,
When you can read a page,
learn to read a book.
Books are afterall good
Why stay away from books?
Don't give excuses to books.
Choose your favourite book and start reading
If you don't know how to choose a book,
ask a friend, ask an aquaintance, flip some newspaper or magazines or even ask the librarian.
Books broaden your knowledge,
See further and wider and become wiser and knowledgable.
Read books to understand the world
Read books to understand yourself
Read books to overcome worries
Read books for your family
Read books for your partner
Read books to stay connected and united
Read books to help, to save, to destroy
The goods will come
And the bad will go
If you have no patience in reading
Seek help
Ask someone
Seek advice
Believe the unbelieveables
Seek the trustable
Seek God

Wow! Thanks for that inspiring post and poem that triggered my love for books. Yes, i definitely love books and i think we should all read self-help books and not just fictional. It helps you grow, learn, gain, recover, and live much faster. Anyway, i like your poem. Cheers!
