Have a good read

Reading makes a man. We have been told that since the day we started reading. The wisdom of it is pounded to into us by parents and teachers alike as we progress from preschool to our teen years.

Nowadays, as we browse through the book shelves, we see several interesting titles that might be worth a second look. We pick up one and hope that it's worth the time spent picking it up or the money spent on buying it. So, how do we know we have picked a good book for a good read?

One of the ways is by surfing the web. Search for the publishers' newsletters or online book lists for the latest titles of the list.

Second, study the book's front and back covers. The front offers an attractive and irresistible graphic that symbolizes the message of the title.

The best advice to take is this - browse and pick, then skim through the contents. Do a random reading of one of the chapters, especially the middle of the story because this is usually where the conflict of the story is.

So, have a nice reading :)

Good writing, but I am used to near perfect from you.
