Today my speech is all going to be about persuade each and everyone of you to start developing this habit of reading books.
The reason why I chose this topic today is because, I read a book which ultimately changed my life and changed my perception towards life, this book was The power of positive thinking by Normant Vincent Peale, but well unfortunately this was the only inspirational book I ever read.
The first chapter “Believe in YOURSELF” itself is something which can do wonders.
This is just one example from one book, which I have read. But my personal genre is fiction.
The joy of reading books can't be described in words. It's something that you can understand only by actual experience.

There is much more to life than your work . Reading books gives you that much needed break from the chaos in your life. It instills peace inside you, makes you relaxed and also exercises your brain in the process.

When you read a book, it feels great to put yourself into a different world that the writer has created for you. Ask any avid reader about this and they too will agree that reading a book is same like watching a movie.

When you spend hours and hours reading a book, creating a world with different characters in your mind, your imagination powers are sure to get a boost. Depending upon what you read, you will come out with the same experience as when you watch some really good movie.

    Books are precious pieces that improve one’s knowledge and help define one’s personality by relating themselves to characters within the text. As Vladimir Nabokov said in Good Readers and Good Writers “The reader should identify himself or herself with the hero or heroine.”(Nabokov, 973) I always believed that by reading a book you become one with yourself by somehow feeling all the problems of the characters and become completely absorbed in their world, therefore feeling like you have a purpose as you read.…

    Reading is my life. It’s my escape from the world around me. I love getting lost in a story about monsters and myths, or a Cinderella gone wrong. If I didn’t draw as much as I did, I’d probably be the anti-social bookworm in the back, like in all those cliche teenage love stories. It’s actually quite surprising to see how many people dislike books, there’s nothing wrong with a little reading every once and awhile. But who am I to judge? I wasn’t a very big reader myself until maybe two years ago. Of course, that leads to the first reason why I enjoy reading so much.…

    “A book is a gift you can open again and again,” wrote Garrison Keillor. People read all the time. They read for information, for escape, for entertainment, for instruction, for guidance. They read recipes and tweets and texts. They read newspapers, blogs, and Facebook replies. In a recent survey by Pew Research, the number of people who actually read a book in the past year was 72 percent in 2015. I am one of those. As I consider my reading experiences, I realize they represent the journey I have traveled, leading me to my current academic path.…

    Reading allows for one to drift away from reality and opens a new door of an alternate fictional world. Once the reader has developed an emotional connection to the book and finds it intriguing, it is impractical to close the book. Reading allows a person to think creatively and take a break from life's stresses and worries. Whether one is reading for pleasure or for academic reasons, if enjoyable, the difference should be indistinguishable. Gratifying books teach lessons and try to get the reader to think deeply about a topic. Readers look for specific qualities in books such reader's interest, an opportunity for vocabulary, and the appropriate reading level for their age. Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare Night by Elie Wiesel and Red Queen…

    The book series that really got me into reading was the Harry Potter series. I hadn’t been much of a reader beforehand, but suddenly I was immersed in a faraway world filled with magic and adventure. New possibilities opened up for me, books could take me anywhere I wanted; I could escape my boring everyday life and travel through space and time into a million different lives and experiences far more rich in adventure and love and drama and magic than anything I could hope for in the real world. The Harry Potter series showed me how much a book could offer, and ever since then I have loved reading.…

    When you pick up a book, you want to make a connection, to connect with the characters, to experience what they are experiencing. Things that we can relate to in books such as family, friendships, sadness, and fear can help us when we are going through a hard time. Reading can be an escape or way to cope for some people. It could be a fairytale or a parallel world that’s completely opposite than our own. While reading you can see how people feel about love or music, being reassured that you are not the only one feeling how you do. It’s a place to share and laugh out loud and enjoy what you see in the story.…

    I love to read because of my mother. When I was young I disliked reading and preferred to watch movies instead. To get me to enjoy reading my mother would read stories to me and I would read along with her. One day my mother read only classic books from our houses to San Antonio, Texas. We read Little women, Great Expectations, Treasure Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Ten Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, plus more. I remember how her voice made the words on the pages come to life. She would very her tone for each character and made each one unique. It was like watching a one man play. I soon wanted to read the stories by myself because I was always in a rush to know the ending; reading to myself was faster than my mother reading aloud to me. Every time I read I can still…

    The first time that I read a book that I truly enjoyed was given to me by my 6th grade reading and writing teacher Mrs. Forristall. Before I had Mrs. Forristall as a teacher, I dreaded going to an english class because I never understood what the point of it all was. My question was always “What is the point of reading if I don’t comprehend it and I don’t like it? My 6th grade teacher changed my perspective on it all. I now love reading books, I love the way that I connect to characters or the author, and I love the way I get into the storyline as a reader, all thanks to Mrs. Forristall.…

    I feel like ever since I started to have memory of my life, books are always next to me. When I was a little boy, I only read the things that I was interested in. The reason of this is these books can make me keep focusing on reading. Looking back these days, I am impressed by how much benefits I earned from reading. I feel like reading helps me get ahead of others, and I guess this is why I still like reading in nowadays.…

    How could someone not love reading? I thought. I would open a book and see worlds created by the words in them. The only thing that could be more amazing than that was –and still is– the fact that at one point, someone sat down, put these words together, and created these worlds. Cue twelve-year-old mind being blown.…

    Books have been a part of my life for a long time. My grandparents would make me read to pass the time when I would stay over with them. All throughout middle school we were required to meet a certain minimum reading quota per semester. Initially this gave me sort of a reluctant outlook on books. When I got to Highschool books were practically a foreign entity. During my senior year this changed drastically. I was introduced to books I cared about and found interesting.…

    As a young boy reading was never an exciting activity for me. Since the first day I began reading proficiently in the first grade all the way through high school, reading was always a chore. Novel after novel we read in class in which I found myself dozing off into the distance dreaming about everything but reading. The only books I’ve ever enjoyed to this day continue to be Magic Tree House, but after 3rd grade the story line begins to repeat and mock the others, kind of like a Capri sun after drinking them your entire childhood. However, the one thing that those books taught me is that a surprise can always be right around the corner.…

    My adventure in learning to read began with my parents. When I was younger getting ready for bed was a treat, I would brush my deciduous teeth, put on my Spongebob pajama pants, and give my parents enough kisses to persuade them to read me a bedtime story. But the best part came when I was able to climb into my cushioned cotton covers and imagine handsome princes slaying dragons, evil witches cackling with delight, or what it would be like to hear an itsy bitsy spider climb up a water spout. It wasn't the pictures I was interested in, it was the words. I was amazed at how letters formed words, words formed sentences, and sentences created fantasy. I would follow along connecting the sound of my parents voice to the words I saw, stopping every chance I could to ask what some of the words meant. This is how learning to read transfigured into learning to love reading.…
