To Read or Not to Read is never the question. The Question is what to read? The answer... Anything and Everything.

1. Learn More

Reading is how you learn everything that is not told to you. All that studying you did for a test, the newspaper, that tweet... all ways you used reading to learn.

2. Relieve Stress

Reading takes your mind off of everyday tasks, people, work, and even food. With all that stuff off your mind, your body can relax.

3. Improve Your Vocabulary

You are sure to encounter new words when reading. Hopefully, you know what they mean before you try to use them to impress.

4. Better Understand Others

Books let you see the world through the eyes of other people. Even if you have never even met them.

5. Escape From Reality

Books take you into their own world and within minutes you will forget about your surroundings.

6. Keep Your Brain Busy

Reading is stimulating, so just think of it as exercising your brain. No need to go to the gym.

7. Improves Your Memory

Okay, so your memory is not actually improving. But, your memory won't deteriorate as quickly, so it feels like an improvement.

8. Strengthens Your Writing Skills

All those awesome sentences you read that other people wrote, they teach you to be a better writer.

9. Helps You Function

How else would you be able to figure out how to get around places?

10. Better Than TV

Books still work when the electricity goes out.

11. Gets You Away From Social Media

What Facebook post? This book was much more exciting and can still help me make friends.

12. You Put that Phone Down

Embrace the silence. Welcome to the world without phones.

13. Keeps You Out of Trouble

I have never heard of a parent disciplining their child for reading too much.

14. You Feel Like a Part of Something Bigger

Not only does the book accept you, but so do all of its fans.

15. You are Constantly Inspired

Reading is the seed to inspiration. The words plant the ideas in your brain. Those ideas flourish from there.
