Дело в том, что, когда вы читаете, вы проживаете историю. К моменту, когда книги сгрудятся стопками вокруг вас, вы уже успеете побывать грабителем банка, солдатом, нуворишей или строгим полицейским. Вы побываете в самых разных ситуациях и местах, потому что там побывал ваш мозг - и все это лишь за цену нескольких чашек кофе.

It’s nice to have a best friend. A best friend stops you from getting lonely. He or she is someone you can share all the good times and the bad times with — and that’s great.
There are several school-mates with whom I am friends and whose company I enjoy. They are nice and pleasant people in many ways and they are interesting to talk to. But a person who is very special for me is my friend Maxim. I have known him for over five years since we came to live in a new block of flats and we studied at the same school. He is a year older than me and he finished school last year.
I think he is really nice-looking with thick dark hair, blue eyes and an attractive smile. What is more important for me, of course, is his personality, his intellect and attitude to many things.
