Reading is fun!A book is the closest you will come to a world of fantasy designed by both you and the author. The worlds out there in book stores are beautiful. As soon as you pick up a book and start reading, you are carried to another world in your mind. The worlds and characters are right there, waiting for you.Reading makes you smarter!Reading helps to form more neural pathways - thus making you smarter! Reading opens your mind to new ways of thinking and it exposes you to different points of views, which in turn is incredibly healthy.Reading reduces stress!That’s right. There’s nothing quite like getting lost in a fictional book. When you step in to that fantasy world, the real world evaporates into nothingness. All of your troubles, whether it be about work, relationships or anything, disappears.Reading expands your vocabulary!As you read, you may come across some rather long words. Every time this happens, your vocabulary expands!www. hubpages.com
