Books are the best friend!

That very true. Books really are our good friends. Atleast better than humans. They teach us alot and doesn't expect anything in return. I hardly have friends. I am just busy reading books whole day. When I had no one to trust in my life I started reading books, they helped alot.

i love books and i've read lots of them. i gain a lot from reading. i improve my language and i learn a lot of things. however, i cannot go far and say they are my best friends. i still love to have someone who will interact with me. someone who will turn to me for advise/help and whom i can turn to in times of my need. someone who will share life's joys and sorrows with me.

Yes, I agree to your view to a certain extent. Books are good friends and there was a time I used to be much selective and read a lot of books from my choice. However, these days, I don't read much due to time constraints and if required anything as such, I will get it from the net and would read. I prefer to read from my own language which I will get a deep understanding of the essence of what is written and I can enjoy them the most with out losing what the writer means. I used to read famous novels, and well known writers works also. Books are really good friends, no doubt. But I cannot compare a good friend with any of these books. I think I am a blessed person with a handfull of good friends and I really experienced the value of friends in my life and I never forget them ever ever as they played such a touching roles in my life. To be frank, I don't have a good friend so close to me for years and within the last 7-8 months, I virtually cried when though of the lack of a good friend. All were gone here and there and totally isolated. In most times I used to think the friends around here all are not really friends they will smile so nicely and behave best in its way, but not friends. If someone as me name the best 5 friends, I will stop after 3, because, I don't have more friends more than that. Anyway, as I used to write, I will write everything, just like talking to a friend and that may be the reason why I never feel happy what I have written yeasterday and keep changing depend on my mood.

Your comparison of books with friends is apt. As there are good friends and bad friends, there are good books as well as bad books. [I amn't a person reading a lot.] In my college days some books with negative/strange thoughts/interests have affected me badly. I hope you are selective to books that bring positive affects/thoughts in life such as peace, pleasantness, self confidence, power of imagination etc.

ya right said mam book are most lovable friend in life the always with you ,most in your time of grief they are only one .

I like reading books. Learning from different writers really is enriching. It helped me developed right attitude and perspective. But I like also listening to people's experiences. These are real experiences which may not be written down but also would be helpful. Then I can ask questions, clarification and possibly gain a friend.

I also think that books are the best friend one can have and with more reading one will get more and more knowledge. I used to read a lot when I was young and love reading and would take books from the library. I think I should try to start reading once again.

Somehow you are right, i used to love read books a lot, i can read it whenever i have free time, but unfortunately i am very lazy to read books now...

yes I believe its true especially when books are of sound origin and doctrine. Whether they be religious or informative, fiction or non fiction as long is it provide an avenue for sound learning.

Now time has change now it burden to carry our old friend books if we want to travel far ... but still i love my books which i like and it give me immense pleasure if i read it
