Books are essential in our life Nowadays it's almost impossible to imagine our life without books. Some people think that books are essential part of our life But others consider that Internet and TV are more important in our life. Now I would like to express my point of view about the role of books in our life. In my opinion, books are our friends at different stages of life. We start reading from early years. We are surrounded by different types of books. It is literature, serious books, dictionaries, schoolbooks and other types. Perhaps, there are more books on our planet than people. Book “Fahrenheit 451” tell about the great role of books in our life. But some people sure that nowadays books lost their importance. Maybe, it’s true, because the Internet has become the main type of leisure. Statistics show that only 15% of people prefer to spend time with a book. It's cheerless figures. Nevertheless, we can’t say that books are not important. Reading develops mind and thinking abilities. Books consider the eternal questions of life, so they help us in everyday situations and stimulate our self-perfection. Besides, 11 years of life in school we spend with books. To conclude, I would argue that books are essential in our life, because books follow us during our life.
