I love books
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies... The man who never
reads lives only one.”
George R.R. Martin
Since I can remember, books have been a part of my life. Back in
elementary school (at least in my times), reading was encouraged, either
by participating in reading aloud contests or by gifting the best
students of the class with a book. Back home, I always saw my mother and
my grandparents reading. So it was natural that books would be a part of
my life too.
But what does the human being get from reading books? Why are we still
engrossed by novels in an era where screens have taken over our
attention? Reading books benefits both your physical and mental health,
and thos benefits can last a lifetime. Among other things, reading
books...
- Opens your mind
- Strengthens your brain
- Improves your vocabulary
- Increases your ability to empathize
