There are so many reasons

why reading is the best hobby.I have to admit that I amwriting this from a biasedperspective. I absolutely lovereading. I have a passionatelove affair with books andnothing makes me happierthan to have a stack of bookson my nightstand to attack ona night when there is no alarmclock waiting the nextmorning. Let me share withyou the reasons why readingis the best hobby you canhave.

Reading

“I love books. I love the moment when you open one and

sink into it you can escape from the world,

into a story that’s way more interesting

than yours will ever be.

“the more you read

the more things you know

The more that you learn

The more places you’ll go.”

It gives you something new and different to enjoy.

And there are so many diverse subjects that you canread about that you are learning something everytime that you read. You can learn practicallyanything from reading a good book on the subject.Even if you choose to read fiction, you may learnsomething that is helpful in your life.

It Expands Your Horizons

Reading causes your mind to work differently than

when you are watching television. It is a way tostretch your mind to grasp new concepts. It alsomakes your #mind work to interpret images. It ishealthy for your brain and keeps your brainfunctioning actively. This can help keep yourmentality sharp as you age.

It Stretches Your Mind

You can learn so many new #words from reading. I

think that this is a tremendous advantage. Having a good handle on vocabulary helps you to speak properly and to sound educated. If you don’t know a word you run onto when you are reading, look it up.

It Grows Your Vocabulary

You can travel to nearly any period in time that you

wish to simply by picking up a book. You can readnon-fiction and get the straight, no-nonsense facts orindulge in some juicy fiction from that time period.Reading can take you to any time period that youwant to go to.

You Can Time Travel

Reading indulges your imagination. When you turn

on a television, there is no need to imagine anythingbecause it is already placed before you in a visualsetting. Reading is not like that. When you read, youhave to come up with your own visual images to goalong with the book. Sometimes when I am#beginning a book, I will stop and take a fewminutes to just sit and think about how I want thecharacters to appear to me. It is quite enjoyable to doso.

It Indulges Your Imagination

Reading is such a peaceful hobby. You can do it in

complete silence and just enjoy the serenity ofhearing nothing but your inner thoughts as youmake your way through a book. It inspires a peacefulfeeling. Many are the times that I sighed a deep,contented sigh as I read the last page of a good#book. I don’t know anything else that offers suchenjoyment.

It is a Peaceful Hobby
