      PREFACE

      Reading should not be just a mission. Reading is pleasure.

      All that you read solely to help you complete work or as a duty may enable you to achieve that purpose, but there is more to the joy of reading, without which you will miss what should remain forever in your subconscious: inspiration and its manifestations in various aspects of your life.

      This book aims to make your relationship with books, and reading in general, one that goes beyond the mere desire to hurry to finish a heavy task, or even the aspiration toward cognitive benefit, to the pure love of reading. When you reconcile with reading and love it, all its desired benefits will flow to you on their own.
