Life for most of us is pretty humdrum always. Nothing exciting, dangerous or adventurous ever seems to happen to us. Through books, children are able to live in a highly exciting, dangerous and adventurous world. Books such as ?Treasure Island? provide the child with an exciting and dangerous world in which anything can and do happen. Later, spy stories and actual accounts of wars and battles, all provide the escape that is often necessary from one?s ordinary everyday life. These are safety valves; they provide an outlet and are an antidote to boredom. Everyone needs this, from Presidents to the lowest citizens. Children who read widely and intensively are less likely to go ground throwing stones at buses, breaking up buildings and tearing down public property. They get their thrills through books and do not seek them in dark alleys and through the senseless and mindless cruelties of knifing and killing.

Title:- Books-An Antidote to Boredom.

Precis: – Life would be dull in the absence of books. Books provide all the excitement that is needed to make life interesting. Children find in books an outlet from boredom. They first read stories of children and they pass on to books of adventures and exploitation. Books keep them away from unsocial activities.
