than good to the readers. Hence, we have to be choosy in respect of
reading books.
But, the question is how to choose the right books. A specialist
collects a book related to his special subject. Students are interested
in text books. Common readers usually like novels and travelogues.
Children have also their special liking yet the general readers should
read some classics to cultivate their taste. Once their taste is tested,
they may choose what is good and what is bad from the lots of
contemporary books.

consult his teachers or some well-read friends or librarian. But the
fast thing in choice of books is that a reader should be allowed to
develop his own taste without being over taught by his guides.

engineers, artists, literature, etc.. You should seek such books as
convey the latest information in their respective subjects.
