Why are books referred to as a man’s best companion? Which is your favourite book and why? Write a paragraph about that book.
Books are referred to as a man’s best companion because they guide us, teach us, make us laugh, make us cry, make us introspect, and help us to become a better version of ourselves. Books are the companions who will never leave us.
