Reading books, or anything that matters, is an asset for oneself. It not only provides a wide perspective on different things but also broadens one’s mind with respect to scenarios beyond imagination (Importance of Reading Books, n.d.). Without reading, the human brain becomes dull, whilst a person who reads on a regular basis challenges his mind, leading to a broad thinking and flexible thought process. Reading not only challenges one’s perspective but also allows one’s mind to grow beyond its usual limits. I love to read books, whether they be novels, magazines, articles, blogs, or anything of that sort. I am guilty of the fact that with the immense pleasure that reading gives me, I love the smell of the books that keeps me hooked to them, no matter what genre they are.
Reading books helps me increase my knowledge not only about things I have no idea about but also about things that my mind is completely oblivious about. For example, I recently read a book called “The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference” written by Malcolm Gladwell, and I was thrilled to learn about this tipping phenomenon that happens every now and then in our society. How simple gestures or people who are “natural pollinators” create a trend and lead to a changed society. Similarly, reading the newspaper, articles, and blogs always helps me remain up-to-date with my social network. Books like “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey have taught some valuable slide lessons that will stay with me forever.
I am personally a huge fan of science fiction and creative writing. Such books allow me to dive into the world created by the author and empower me to live a life beyond imagination. Some of my favourite books include Harry Potter, Twilight, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, and many more. I believe that such books help create a strong imagination power as the brain is continuously in action as one reads them. They help me by providing a stress-free escape from the harsh reality and allowing me to live an implausible life. Therefore, reading books not only helps me with my mental peace but also generates a positive vibe that helps me cope with my usual hectic routine and helps me live a healthy life.
This course has introduced me to the world of literature I always have imagined. Learning and practising new words, experiencing different types of literary forms, and being able to understand them and practice them in real life have made this course a valuable asset. However, it totally depends on me how I utilize this opportunity and make the best out of it. With the help of this course, I plan to discover the unturned stones in English literature by reading, writing, speaking, and incorporating these principles into my practical life. I believe that this course will help me broaden my horizons and help me develop conveyable and effective skills for a lifetime.
