I remember my college instructor said that we can travel other places, time and dimension through reading and I believe it's true. We learn so many things about a certain place just through reading and sometimes it feels like we've been there also. When I read fictional stories then my imagination is taking me to another world of fantasies. It's amazing what reading can do. It's not only we learn but we also travel.

I certainly agree with you. I remember my mentor once told to take time to read anything at least 30 minutes a day, it maybe a book or magazine. My only mistake is that I never took that advice wholeheartedly. I wish I could be more enthusiastic in reading.

Its surely is a very good habit to read as reading not only improves our knowledge but also helps to get better imaginative skills. Any person who reads on a regular basis will have better IQ than a person who doesn't. You may read anything that you like from newspapers, magazines to books and journals. Reading is a very good habit to own. Hope you are into the habit of reading yourself just like me. Everyday i read two newspapers to get the daily information of world and finance. I read books when I get chance to do so. Books are really fantastic friends.

Reading makes an accumulation of experiences are viewed,imagined, lived before possible. It is more than necessary regardless of the field, reading helps you be more careful, realistic, optimistic to have a better memory, a rich language,you can lead a discussion and have a nice behavior. Think of a book that still retain some good ideas,so you need to read longer and to retain as much information.

You can make better conversations with people that are well read. Reading is still very important. Today a lot of our conversations are typed on the computer. We are constantly being judged by our peers by how we write. Reading helps us to obtain knowledge and keeps our minds active. People find it hard to find time to read in modern times. You don't feel like reading after working 8 hour days. Especially if you have to cook dinner and make sure the kids do their homework. I think people should read at least 30/45 minutes a day. I know a lot of people that read but read silly stuff like zombie novels. These are grown ups, lol! People should read books that challenge their minds and help them learn things.

I learned a lot through reading. I would usually have the dictionary beside me, when i read. When i meet a word that i don't know the meaning of, i would look it up in the dictionary. That way, my vocabulary was enriched.

Yes, it is very important, because you can capture everything you want to capture, what I mean is, you can go deeper on the matter of what you have heard.
