Books

The best well-rounded education is a good collection of books. It will take several lifetimes to read all the good books. So read the greatest books, the most useful books, the best parts of the best books.

The popularity of electronic publishing has made some book lovers feel that they may not get to hold their print books with the coffee in hand much longer. But this is never likely to happen as they both offer different values to the reader.

"Prefer knowledge to wealth, for one is transitory, the other perpetual."
- Socrates.

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends:
they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors,
and the most patient of teachers."
-Charles William Eliot.

So keep reading good books.
