“Reading is a
complex cognitive process of decoding symbols in order to construct or derive
meaning (reading comprehension). It is a means of language acquisition, of
communication, and of sharing information and ideas.”[1]
Reading has been with us since ancient times. Every language
is capable of being read. It is a basic function of human existence, a
fundamental ability that almost everyone is capable of doing. Most, if not all
of the world’s greatest stories started out as a really good book. But are all
books really worth our time?
