Alexie writes that he read to save his life, and many others have written that books opened up worlds and possibilities that gave them a new life. do you believe that reading and books can still have that power? explain.

Yes, in my opinion reading and books can still have that power.

Explanation:

Reading is one of the healthiest activities for a person as it modifies and enhances the thoughts of a person. Reading allows our mind to think differently and look at situations with a broader perspective. Many self-helping books encourage people to know the real cause of their existence and their worth and hence in this way books help in treating depression or suicidal thoughts.

No matter how many advances the world makes, reading will always have power and help people in giving a vision.
