There are a great many different reasons why reading books is necessary for every literate person, but they all come down to one thing - this is the most powerful and fastest means of self-development. A person who loves to read has excellently developed speech, he knows how to express his thoughts beautifully and clearly, his imagination is well developed, but logical thinking does not suffer . On the contrary, reading books develops it.
In other words, everyone knows that reading is necessary, but about which books you need to read, the debate goes on endlessly. They all argue. And ardent reading fans, and those who read out of necessity (and there are quite a few such people), scientists, teachers, adults and children. The reason for such heated discussions is the immense number of books that have been written during the existence of civilized humanity, and which are continuously written now and will be written in the future.
In a huge sea of literature of all kinds and genres it is really possible to drown, therefore the question arises of which books everyone should read. It would seem, what is the problem? There is a developed school list of compulsory reading literature, which includes the best and most highly artistic, "correct" books for the harmonious development of personality. However, these lists are compiled by some people for others, which means that a certain subjectivity is already present. In addition, the political system, general mentality, and the level of tolerance of society influence the fact which books will be listed.
In addition to everything, each person has his own individual taste and needs, which means the question: “What books should be read?”, He will be asked regardless of the completeness of the school literature list. The exact answer to this question is very difficult to find. Of course, this list should include classical and modern works, prose and poetry, artistic and historical, adults and children.
As for works for kids, it’s not only parents who are puzzled to read them what books are worth reading to children. Literature intended for young readers (listeners) is a special section of fiction. It is amazing in its effect: young minds with the help of children's books develop and mature, and adults return to the world of carefree joy of childhood. In addition, ordinary tales, written in a simple, simple language, sometimes carry more philosophical meaning than a serious multi-page treatise.
And yet, in addition to good children's literature, an adult also needs a good “non-child”. Various polls on the topic: “Which books do you need to read?” Are offered as assistance in finding wonderful and significant books. Participants in such surveys cite several works that have had a strong impact on their lives, and the organizers of the most repetitive make up their own, alternative list of books that, in their opinion, should be read. But such a representative sample depends on the target audience of the respondents. For example, if this question is asked on a resource that has an Orthodox bias, then the top ten will include the Bible, books of the New Testament, and stories about the acts of saints. If the survey is conducted among adolescents, it is possible that among the best and must-have books about Harry Potter or the saga about vampires Stephanie Meyer.
So, before asking a question about which books you must read, you need to decide on the purpose of selecting books: for your own development (professional, general, moral), search for ready-made answers, as entertainment or for something in tune with your feelings and sensations.
