What do you read?

Life without books is a tree without leaves. Boring and  gloomy as trees in autumn.

- Do you read books? - Are you fond of reading? - Are books worth reading or are they a waste of time? Why?- How do you choose a book? - Do you read for pleasure or for knowledge? - What genres do you know?

A room without books is a body without a soul.

Комната без книг похожа на тело без души.

Choose an author as you choose a friend.

Выбирай автора книги так, как выбираешь друга.

Don’t  judge a book by its cover. Не выбирай книгу по обложке. Reading is to the mind what

exercise is to the body. Чтение для ума это то же, что

упражнения для тела. We are what we read I will tell you

what you are. Мы те, что мы читаем.

Tell me what you read and I will tell you what you are.

Скажи мне, что ты читаешь и я скажу кто ты.

Books are a great thing as long as you know how to use them.

Книги - великая вещь, если знаешь, как ими пользоваться.
