Try and guess!
I have many leaves,
But I'm not a tree.
I'm something nice,
Come and read me. (a book)
The field is white,
Black is the seed,
And the sower who sowed it
Was clever indeed. (a page of the book)

I can be funny or quite sad,
But to read me you'll be glad. (a story)

It's interesting to read different kinds of books.
"Except for a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! They teach as and open their heart to us as brothers", wrote Charles Kingsley, an English writer of the 19th century.
Books teach us to love. We learn many things by reading books. There are different kinds of books: novels, short stories, tales, fairy-tales, fables, poems, plays, memoirs, atlases and text-books, detective stories (= who-done-it stories), legends, comics, science fiction. A lot of people prefer reading books about wildlife, monsters, space, historical people and events, magic things and adventure. Books can be humorous, adventurous, detective, fantastic, historical, political, scientific.
They can be interesting, thrilling, fascinating, exciting, powerful, useful, unusual, original, amusing, moving, true-to-life, well-written, boring, badly-written, unoriginal.
Books are certainly one of the greatest inventions of man.

Familiar Quotations.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is for the body.
(Richard Steele)

All books are divisible into two classes: the books of the hour, the books of all time. (John Ruskin)

Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.
(Henry David Thoreau)

7. Прочитай и обсуди.
Read and Discuss.
Books, I believe, may be divided into three groups: books to read, books to re-read, books not to read at all.
The third class is the most important. To tell people what to read is, as a rule, either useless or harmful. But to tell people what not to read is a very different matter.
It is indeed necessary in this age of ours, an age that reads so much that it has no time to admire, and that writes so much that it has no time to think. Whoever will select "The Worst Hundred Books" and publish a list of them will do the rising generation a real and lasting service". (After O. Wild)
