Don't Judge a Book by Looking at the Cover

How often do we pick up a book, we glance at the cover, or we read a few lines here and there, and if we aren't immediately grabbed by the books cover or the few words that we randomly chose to focus on, we put the book down, and go on our merry ways. We may never know what treasure we just left behind.

Truth: Books do offer a form of therapy, and it is of no matter if you pick up a book to learn, to laugh, to cry, and or to simply escape reality even for just a moment in time.

We have all heard the old saying "Don’t Judge a Book by Looking at the Cover". That old saying is true. Some of the best books ever written do not have attractive covers; a few excellent books that do not necessarily have attractive covers are "The Holy Bible:, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, or even Gibbons Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire.

I could go on and on, my only point is; don't judge by not truly knowing what any book contains, we only cheat ourselves when we overlook and assume anything.  

Although I do have a few books of non-substance, I do prefer to carry books that enrich the soul,  nourish the mind, and enlighten the lives of those that read.
