Reading while traveling is more than pleasurable; it’s a necessity. It means resting our heads against the window while traveling on the subway, train, or bus, and immersing ourselves in distant worlds and other people’s lives. These waves of words help us make the journey seem shorter and distance ourselves from the noise. It can make our journey meaningful and help us to start our working days with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

Reading while traveling brings a unique context to one’s reading. Many people take specific books with them to tie into the places they’re traveling to. Few things are as enjoyable and satisfying as lifting your eyes to find yourself in the very same country, setting, or context that the book is set in. Of course, it isn’t necessary to visit the exact places in a novel in order to experience the sensations that the author is trying to transmit to you. Just the simple fact of being outside the four walls of your house brings new ingredients to reading: sounds, lights, faces, and sensations, among other things.

Reading while traveling improves your ability to concentrate. The truth is that not all people are able to concentrate on a book while they’re traveling. Our urban world is noisy. However, it’s interesting to note that those who have become used to reading while traveling have developed unique concentration and focusing skills. The ability to read, understand, and visualize other worlds and plots is a skill that can be applied to many other areas in life.

Reading, which is a ticket that transports you to places far beyond your physical destination, is a portable pastime. You don’t have to be in bed or on the couch in order to be able to enjoy a book. Reading while traveling is a great way to make the most of your time, thereby turning those moments of inactivity into very active ones for your brain. The only danger that we could point out is that you may get so immersed in your book that you might miss your stop!

Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White is a children’s book.

As the story opens,eight-year-old farm girl Fern Arable stops her father from killing a baby pig who is weaker than his brothers and sisters. The little pig, Wilbur, becomes one of the main characters in the story. Later he will be treated as a friend by Charlotte, a wise and loving spider living on the same farm. Wilbur slowly realizes that the farmer will kill him for his meat in a few months, and Charlotte decides to help him out. She tries many things to keep Wilbur alive. She writes words in her web describing how wonderful Wilbur is and this makes the farm famous.

White creates a sort of modern animal fable(寓言), in which animals can speak both with each other and with Fern. Also there are many great characters in this book.

The society of animals has many lessons to teach children and adults: friendship, sacrifice(牺牲), hope, determination, love, duty, fairness, respect, and many more.

Part of this novel’s success is the fact that the author makes a heroine(女主角) out of a spider, a creature that many people probably dislike. Unlike a lovely little pig or other creatures, a spider is a creature greatly different from humans. White’s Charlotte is a truly wonderful character. He tells the story of Charlotte and her friends in a special way. This is a book that no one could ever dislike. It has much to offer to children as well as to older teens and adult readers.

If the Star Wars movies have made you fall in love with the space opera, eventually you’re going to read, Dune Trilogy (沙丘三部曲), Frank Herbert’s most famous creation. The story of centuries-old political plotting—about warring factions battling over control of the extremely valuable planet Arrakis—is a classic and remains a wonderful introduction to the larger, more complex world of science fiction, the Dune Trilogy, just beyond the Star Wars trilogy.
