First of all, it is an extraordinary kind of relaxation. The stress and the pressure in the muscles disappear. Even if you are enjoying the book in the train or the subway and all the seats are taken. You actually get to feel relaxation and the good moments that your body needs. Second of all, reading helps you develop a rich vocabulary and so many times helps students most to “beat around the bush”. This means that you have very small idea about the subject but you get to write so much. Most of the books are real life experience. You get real help in so many situations. And you get to find extraordinary, funny, creepy, brave, romantic stuff in them.
I personally got very impressed by Alexandre Dumas and I just love his art. In one of his books I have read about the power of lie and it`s destructive influence. Makes you see how a sustained lie is the best true ever. Imagine the situation: in the public market comes the news that lady X was killed probably by lord Y. Of course, there are persons that believe this and others who don`t. But if in the second morning another person comes and says that it was murdered by sword or a very sharp knife, no one thinks that lord Y didn`t killed her. Everybody is concerned now about the weapon… tricky, right?
And I could go on and on a couple of pages and telling you that reading is wonderful. Makes you smarter. I love to see young people with books in their way home. And being very anxious to get the latest volume of their favorite collection. You might find something funny that will make your day. You might even find a quote for a tattoo. Or even a logo for your life. Do try reading!!!
