You and I read them with pleasure;others do not care forthem.To some,the reading of any book is as impossible as reading a book in a foreign language.These people do not read-at all.Take a New York police officer.Someone suggested he ought to read a novel in his vacation time,but he said,"Will,I've never read a book yet,and I don't think I'll begin now." He had no use for books.He could get along perfectly well without them,and he is not unique.These people are not uneducated;they have and are still gaining much knowledge.However,they gain this knowledge not from books,but by personal experience and by word of mouth.Is it possible that they are right? Could it be true that reading books is not necessary?
