It is very true that most persons don't like reading books including students. They believe reading a book is boring and a waste of time, they prefer to watch it in a movie format. Even the white men said that if you want to hide anything from a black man, put it in a book because they will not read it.
I have gained so much by reading books and books are my priceless possessions, I don't joke with them. There are so many things your teachers will not teach you about life in school but you can get them from books. Even if it is done in a movie format, the producers of the movie will not include everything that is in the book.
Now, compare the movie 'Harry Porter' to the book itself. You will notice some differences. Everything cannot be in the movie.
Try to read a book even if it's once a month for a start and at the end of the year you will be 12 times better than your colleagues who don't read books. If you spend 20 minutes reading daily, for 52 weeks, you would have consumed 1,000,000 words. Remember no knowledge is a waste, read a book for your self-development.
