Advantages And Disadvantages Of Reading Books

First issues that we choose as a topic in our assignments are the inappropriate contents. Reading might not be familiar with Malaysian but we are not far behind in reading as well. Getting Malaysian to read books regardless it genre may lead to negative self-development. This is because the genre of the books must be suitable with the age of the people itself. Children and teenagers are curious about life also they love to explore new things. If we ask them to choose book genres, majority of them will choose romance, thriller or any other books that are not suitable with their age.
