This presentation is to examine Reading habits among the Telugu speaking great personalities not only from the states of Andhrapradesh and Telangana but also around the world. First, and foremost the presenter identifies Telugu speaking great personalities with the help of newspapers and social media. In order to collect data and their opinions the presenter used interviews and a questionnaire. These professionals, politicians, religious leaders, businessmen, writers, actors, sport stars, and high ranking officials have the potential to influence thousands of people. The presenter feels that these people became great thinkers, innovators, writers, and leaders because of their reading habits and would like to bring their success stories to the people of Telugu. These days our children and adults are addicted to digital gadgets and when they look up to these celebrities they may be inspired to read because the most successful and well known people see books as the gateway to knowledge and credit reading as one of the factors of their achievements. The presenter would also like to bring awareness among the people regarding reading habits from childhood because, as Green (2000) mentions, 'Reading habit is best formed at a young impressionable age in school, but once formed it can last one's life time.'
