We human beings cannot live alone. We always need family, friends and social circle for survival because man is a social animal. We cannot survive alone in this world without any social contact. He needs company. In present era, Man becomes selfish, no one does care about anyone. Everyone is just concerned about their lives. Relations become so temporary and materialistic, even our own relatives become so mean and selfish that no one can see anyone happy and successful. Friendships are less reliable and breaks easily. So, friendship between man and man does not last long. A man wants to find a sincere friend. He wants a true and genuine friend who can stand with him through thick and thin, who would be there when he needed him and be with him without being judgmental. A friend who can share his sorrows and joys, who does not get tired of his problems and tensions, who stays with him in every condition and circumstances. We all need a true, genuine, honest and sincere friend in our lives. And books can be our true and closest friend more than a man.

“I love books. I adore everything about them. I love the feel of the pages on my fingertips. They are light enough to carry, yet so heavy with worlds and ideas. I love the sound of the pages flicking against my fingers. Print against fingerprints. Books make people quiet, yet they are so loud.”
