Hi 

In fact I usually follow this Shakespearean wisdom" Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none". I like to keep friendship relations formal .So your supposition is true , your books are more faithful and you can consider it as a simple advice.

True and you can consider it as a simple advice. 

Are you living with the same life manner Dr. Liqaa?

Bright statement "Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none", as I told you Dr. Liqaa before as an answer to one of your questions as I remember, we as an engineers CAN NOT create such high level theme, because we spent our life between bolts, gears, lubricants, and other mechanical components and completely forget to live like others.

I think Human being and then obviously books.

I do prefer live words more than written words! And, by the way, I read a lot!

I very much agree with Ljubomir, face to face interaction is the prime advantage of friends! Sometimes it is better being able to disagree than having no one to agree with! Books are good, no doubt, but are not interactive :))

Maybe, you will be interested to know about it:

الكتاب خير جليس واحيانا يكون خير صديق

Social interaction is required and important in order to prove human humanity

Until you reach this interaction you must possess the knowledge that among the most important sources of this knowledge is the book

So both are important

What does a friend do? Adjust himself or herself in diverse forms to heal a wound of a dear one. Giving varying shades of advice to differing situations while being there to offer warm affection. Which one plays this role better? Books or persons? We always say among my people that 'people are important' 'people are not meat but they are tasty'. This is to highlight the need for human interaction more than the often static, motionless, truncated and anti-faceted books.

A good friend is equal to library.

Excellent reply, really excellent Dr. D.B. Jani.

Sometimes one honest friend may totally equal to library of books.

Dear Colleagues,

Good Day,

This question might have relative answers, depending on the person.

For example, see what " Abraham Lincoln" once said:

“My Best Friend is a person who will give me a book I have not read.”

Can you send me e mail.I help for you

Dear Hasan Bulut,

Which one you mean?

Regards, Emad

Friends and meeting peoples from all walks of life are important, so is books written by, usually, other people that have important information on subjects of interest to you.

Dear @Emad, I recommend the related research question of my respected colleague and friend, dear @Marwan.

Who or what is your best friend?

Is your best friend a person? Is it a thing: a book, a car, an instrument, for instance? Is it a pet? Do we really care for what we call friends, for what they are and what they mean to us? Alternatively, is all we care about having out of their “friendship” getting need servants; caregivers, so to speak? Does friendship come down to a tit-for-tat relationship? If so, does it really exist, or is it just a dream—more or less? Can people become better “friends” if they share common “values” or if they share mutual “interests,” for this matter?

More than 110 answers and resources.

Dear Dr. Ljubomir Jacić,

I have no idea about this previous question on RG platform, anyway, thanks a lot for sharing this piece of information and it is good idea to reunion these efforts.

I very much agree with Begaa

A person with virtues is the best friend.

Opatha, & Teong, (2014) point out that a virtue is a good habit and a good attribute that is useful for a person him/herself and other persons.

Solomon (1999) states that virtue is an essential aspect of an individual. Solomon (1999) further states that the concept of virtues provides the conceptual linkage between an individual and his/her society.

Of course a PERSON... People represent the dynamic part of life whereas books can be considered somehow static...

Book are our companion & it remains with all the time with us .For our best friend we may enjoy the company ,share our views , & also receiving a guiding help from a friend . It is in this line it is called Friend is need & Friend indeed .

With this sentiment for our friend books remain all the time with as a Friend ,Philosopher ,& guide in the sense that with any of our problem we may certainly find the solution of our problem provided we are book reader . In other case only our friend may come our help .

This is my personal opinion
