There are many good reasons to read.
First, Reading expands our knowledge and culture. Former USA First Lady Barbara Bush is an example. Many famous authors and great leaders encourage people to read.
Do you know that Stephen King reads about 250 books per year? Surprise? Not really. People who read more frequently have a bigger knowledge of life and also a wider perspective of their environment. This gives an advantage over all others who do not read. Knowledge is wealth. This is why the Chinese adage said that one needs not travel far or out to know what is happening in other parts of the world. Newspaper reading is one example.
Second, Reading is fun, and engages our imagination.
Third, regardless of our age, reading can expand our vocabulary and ways to express our ideas. It improves our writing and communication skills.
So, why wait? Start now and take the effort to find a good book.
