A book that is shut is nothing but a block.

有书不读，毫无价值。

For you

Is your collection of books large? Do you often read them or just place them on the shelf? Reading serves for delight, for ornament, and for ability. However, a book that is shut is nothing but a block. 你有很多藏书吗？你经常读它们还是把它们束之高阁？读书足以怡情，足以博彩，足以长才。但是，有书不读却毫无价值。
