I have recently read an article about how reading is one of the best things to do for entertainment. This statement, which comes in an age of advanced technology, movies, and video games never seems to gain any traction. Nonetheless, I agree with the article in that reading can give a person a leg up over competition. It requires a person to concentrate more than a movie because the reader has to create the scenery, the looks of the characters, and you can be as close to the action as possible without actually being there. As an added bonus, it can also make you smarter (here is proof). There was a time when reading was only accessible by the nobility and upper classes due to the rarity of books and low literacy levels of the general public. Now that most people have access, we need to take advantage of all that we can.
Read On Everyone!
