But not many keenly engross and read themselves. People at the libraries read to obtain specific information; they not only read books but also journals and newspapers. [1][2][3].

Reading as A Hobby
Primary source involves books, newspapers or any other printed materials. This can be used as a tool to change one"s life. May be the texts can be used to customize the graphic, it can also be a lifeturning drama. Associated series which draws the reader"s attention or with familiar characters can grow as a hobby for the reader. The more the readers are known with grammar the easy it is for them to familiarize with the words. Instead of the words, if the illustration is used readers may take a special attention towards reading of the specific material. Reading constantly is as significant as reading the given material with minimal error, only then a person can become an expert in reading. These printed material lend a helping hand towards enhancement of reading skill. It also assists the reader with lot of information. It is reader"s choice to read at their own will and they are motivated to read more. There is diverse topic to read and readers are encouraged to choose their own topic. Since we make reading as a hobby, readers may show more interests towards pursuing reading. It is important to include reading in their mundane activities, else one may tend to forget the habit of reading.

It also may be termed as reading as in individual: reading silently, it is like reading in everyday" s life. In practical life, it is possible to differentiate between reader"s choice of reading. It is important that even while reading slowly, there shouldn"t be any error. Books gives us a wide multiplicities of choice of reading, it is at ease for the readers to choose the type of books he/she wants. Also when the reader picks out the his/her choice, they make it a point to read the book cautiously and with utmost care. Also when an individual take reading as a hobby, one is relieved from the mental stress, attempts to keep the mind calm. It is that when the reader opts a choice of book, readers mind is relaxed and is ready to read his/her own book. There is difference between reading for specific purpose and reading as a hobby. When you read for specific purpose our mind only gets the information but when you read as a hobby it"s the separate enjoyment. When you read as a book or any printed version, the reader goes into the text and forgets his/her own world. For instance, when you read a particular novel, the reader goes into the character and forgets herself/himself. For once, the reader forgets the outside world and goes deeper into the character themselves. It generates lot of positive thought and extracts the negativity when reading. For an ardent reader, while travelling, books comes in handy for them. For people who take as reading as a pleasure, it offers them the best company or best friend for them because they foster the reading habit on a daily basis. [3][4][5][6].

These readers have singlemindedness on the importance of the text; discover themselves reading the material very slowly. They keep on reading it again and again to make sure whether it is right from their part.

If the readers pace have been too slow, the reader may find her to be bored and moderately don"t get very broad idea because it is readers wants to know the end of the sentence before we can understand the beginning of the sentence. The beginning or the foundation of the text and end or the completion of the text is both noteworthy. Constructing each and every letter or the word is difficult for the slow readers. Therefore, readers are bound to make errors while reading. Re-reading the text quite rapidly may result in fast reading than reading the text very slowly. The Profiency level for the readers amends form one person to another. If the reader follows the systematic way, there is no problem in making a perfect reader.
