Features: The ancients said, "A fortune of ten thousand gold cannot be exchanged for the joy of reading for one day." As time accumulates, the wealth of books grows, and the joy, interest, and benefits are truly beyond words. A poet once said, "Everyone has an unchanging friend, a wealth that never fades, a spring that never runs dry, and a torch that never goes out—these are books." Upon retirement, staying at home, everyone seeks a life filled with flavor, a touch of romance, a sense of fulfillment, a higher quality of life, and greater abilities. None of these can be without books. Shakespeare said it well: "Life without books is like a sunless day, and wisdom without books is like a bird without wings." Therefore, reading more of the books one loves, seeking a trusted friend, pursuing wealth, seeking knowledge, and seeking happiness have become important aspects of retired life.
