| 520 | _a"Why We Should Read" by S. P. B. Mais is an educational work written in the early 20th century. The book presents a passionate argument advocating for the appreciation of literature, exploring various classic and contemporary works and their authors. It seeks to rekindle interest in reading by illustrating the significance of literature in enriching human experience and understanding. The opening of the text serves as an introduction to the author's perspective on reading and literature. Mais critiques contemporary reading habits, emphasizing the pitfalls of superficiality in book selection. He highlights the importance of developing a critical sense towards literature, presenting an array of classic English authors and their works, such as Fielding's "Tom Jones" and Brontë's "Wuthering Heights," to exemplify the joy and depth that literature can offer. The author asserts that reading is not only a leisure activity but a way to establish enduring bonds with authors and their characters—essentially inviting readers to join him in an exploration of literary appreciation.
