There's a cavalcade of books that have been swarming book stands the world over, and book lovers and text addicts are trying to get their hands on these paperbacks. Whatever a book does for you, only you can really grasp and understand. Some people actually hate reading - wait let me rephrase that - some people actually hate books. How is that even a conceivable possibility is beyond me. These people in question are those that don't give that much-needed importance and reverence to text. They don't want to let their minds push the envelope, delve deeper into text and explore its many underlying meanings, explore a whole new side of creative thinking or think passionately about expanding their minds beyond what it is conformed to.

A friend of mine doesn't read, so I handed over to her one of those self-help books that women need to be armed with, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.
