Around 130 million books come out in the human history. A reader will read at most 6, 000 books in his life. Most of them won’t be so much fun or very unforgettable. Books are like people. We meet many but fall in love with a small part of them.
Maybe we will only remember about thirty books. They will be different for each of us, but they affect (影响) us in similar ways.
________ When we see a bird flying in the sky, we have a great feeling, but we may find it hard for us to use words to show our feelings and finally we just say, “That’s so nice.” However, a good writer can describe it wonderfully.
Great writers build bridges for us so that we can talk with each other. They depict the similar experiences of us, and show us what we can share with each other and how we can help each other.
Great writers also help us to feel. By reading a book, we meet someone. Probably she is very beautiful, young, smart but dying, and we feel sad about her pain (疼痛) and the unfairness (不公平) of the world. Or maybe she is poor but hard-working, and we find the spirit to face the difficulties in life through her story.
