Reading is when you can take time to relax.
Reading is for you alone.
Reading is your door into new worlds.
What does reading do for you personally?
1. It keeps you sharp. It promotes thinking as well as enhancing your general knowledge.
2. Reading reduces stress. It gives you a quiet switch-off time from real life. Fiction especially enables you to escape into somebody else’s world. Sitting or lying still absorbed in a book is very soothing for both body and mind…
3. As well as improving your written and spoken vocabulary, it trains the brain to remember things better.
4. For writers, not just those who make their living from writing, but for anybody who has to tap out some words in their job, it improves writing skills.
5. Reading gives you something interesting to say and helps make connections with other people.
