The more advanced a man is, the greater delight he will find in<br /> reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or science are very difficult and that if<br /> philosophers and scientists read these subjects, it is not for pleasure. But this is not true. The mathematician<br /> finds the same pleasure in his mathematics as the school boy in an adventure story. For both, it is a play of<br /> the imagination, a mental recreation and exercise.<br /> The pleasure derived from this activity is common to all kinds of reading. But different types of books<br /> give us different types of pleasure. First in order of popularity is novel-reading. Novels contain pictures of<br /> imaginary people in imaginary situations, and give us an opportunity of escaping into a new world very<br /> much like our world and yet different from it. Here we seem to live a new life, and the experience of this<br /> new life gives us a thrill of pleasure.<br /> Next in order of popularity are travel books, biographies and memoirs. These tell us tales of places we<br /> have not seen and of great men in whom we are interested. Some of these books are as wonderful as<br /> novels, and they have an added value that they are true. Such books give us knowledge, and we also find<br /> immense pleasure in knowing details of lands we have not seen and of great men we have only heard of.<br /> Reading is one of the greatest enjoyments of life. To book-lovers, nothing is more fascinating than a<br /> favorite book. And, the ordinary educated man who is interested and absorbed in his daily occupation<br /> wants to occasionally escape from his drudgery into the wonderland of books for recreation and<br /> refreshment.<br /> (Source: http://www.importantindia.com)<br /> 25.<br /> What does the passage mainly discuss?<br /> a.
