Reading improves your conversational skills

Because reading increases your vocabulary and your knowledge of how to correctly use new words,  reading helps you clearly articulate what you want to say. The knowledge you gain from reading also gives you lots to talk about with others

While reading is great, it’s only one part of the equation. Reading is the consumption while writing is the production. This isn’t to say that you have to strive to be a novelist, but if you exercise writing your thoughts about what you read, it builds understanding and helps you to develop key ideas.

Writing and reading go hand in hand. When done in concert, you maximize the benefits from both. If I read something that strikes me, but never write the thoughts down, then it is lost, never to be articulated.

That part about reading as an escape really hit home. When I was a kid, reading was the escape from my awful home life that kept me alive. I was very depressed and reading was the thing that helped me the most. Not sure if I would even be here now if I had not had that outlet.

Reading fantasy is a delight, you dive so deeply into the story that it's like you're experiencing every bit of it. It's Wonderful

I love how audiobooks can help those who are visually impaired or have dyslexia enjoy books. Also listening to audiobooks (at a higher speed) while reading the physical book can help keep us focused if we are more distracted or in a reading slump.

as a grown adult, I still love reading "The Wimpy Kid". It is so priceless and relatable.

I have been reading for a week straight so far. My advice:
1: find a book that sounds interesting
2: have a place to stop. i.e 3 pages, end of the chap. ect.

3:just...do it. It was really boring the first couple of days but I forced myself and now I look forward to it every day
4: put it on your to do list. When you ask yourself “what do I have to do today??” Make sure you say READ my book because then you won’t forget and it will become part of your day.
5: reward yourself after, tell yourself that you are amazing and that it took self discipline to do that and you did it. Being proud of yourself makes your brain want to do it again in order to receive praise.

I hope this helped someone☺️

I stopped reading books around my senior year in High School, devastatingly so. I simply couldn’t focus. The story couldn’t hold my attention because I was too distracted on life and what was going on in my life outside of school. I lost my imagination. I’m 24 now. Around 22 I started reading comic books and graphic novels. I really fell back in love with reading good compelling stories. A couple years later, I’m reading Stephen King books, Ernest Hemingway books, Arthur C Clarke sci fi books, William Gibson Sci Fi books, Phillip K Dick sci books, Grant Morrison comics, Frank Miller comics, Alan Moore and many many more writers. I must say I’ve completely fallen head over heels in love with reading again, and it’s all I want to do now a days, get lost in a good book. Reading can be challenging, but that’s the fun part of it. Getting through a dense story can be very rewarding. Reading is underrated af and I hope people give it a chance again.
