Reading is an enjoyable pastime since it improves our
mental health, general knowledge, writing abilities and may even lead to
a profession. Books may also transport you to places you have never been
to before. It is an intellectually stimulating activity. The mind will
sharpen from all the plots we have read, characters we engage with and
words we have learned. Aside from captivating tales and characters;
books have the capacity to broaden horizons, allowing readers to explore
different cultures all over the world. Reading can also help you develop
a more creative imagination. Being creative may benefit you in many
aspects of life that need problem-solving. Aside from helping you
overome life's problems, an enlarged imagination is a plus if you want
to be a published novelist someday. Besides writing, many other jobs
require a creative thinking, such as an artist, film director,
song-writer, and so on.
Bonus - Finding like-minded people who enjoy reading
to establish new acquaintances or friends. You do not even have to like
the same novels that they do. If you enjoy other books from others, you
will have more to share and discuss!
