Reading books benefits both your physical and mental health, and those benefits can last a lifetime. They begin in early childhood and continue through the senior years. Regular reading dramatically improves vocabulary which improves memory function as well as the ability to generate thoughts and form and express opinions. Reading is known to reduce stress and improve empathy. It also dramatically develops imagination (the ability to form pictures in the mind) which has the knock-on effect of improving creativity as well as maths ability.
