“Books do not get jealous if you read other books”- Anonymous
Reading book is both a custom and an aesthetic. It links us to human fate and predicament, of what happened in the Classical Antiquity to as much as those of the modern era, and whatever came between the two.

The representatives of the ‘Book Reading Session’ in support of The Bhawanipur Education Society College called for one: on the famous writer of the modern era, Virginia Woolf.

It is an empathy towards original plays.” she expounded.
