Reading gives the highest kind of pleasure. Some book we simply read for pleasure and amusement. For example, good novels. Novels and books of imagination must have their place in everybody’s reading. When we are tired, it is a healthy recreation to indulge in light reading, as that makes our fatigue vanish, but we have to take care to cultivate the habit of reading books on history, literature, geography, science, philosophy, religion etc. The pleasure got from reading and enjoying such books will be more solid and instructive. Books are standing counsellors and preachers, always at hand and always neutral.
