Books are becoming more and more expensive, but this does not stop reading lovers. Despite the availability of audiobooks and film adaptations of many artistic masterpieces, people do not refuse to read. Sometimes it is puzzling, why do people read books, if you can have a richer time?
More often than not, people read books in order to have a good time. Having plunged headlong into an interesting story, imbued with the atmosphere of the book, you can turn into another person at least for a while. Your own problems and experiences fade into the background, and you can immerse yourself in the world written by the author.
Reading books at home, sitting comfortably in a comfortable chair, you can take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Such rest allows you to get rid of stress, a person rests not only physically, but also mentally.
In addition to vivid adventures and interesting information, the book contains life lessons and advice. From the stories, you can take out a lot of valuable information that will come in handy in a given situation.
A well-read person will always be able to find a common topic for conversation with other people who like to read. Discuss books, novelties in literature, or writers. You can quote your favorite characters, use a story as an example, or discuss characters.
In addition, the literacy of the reader increases. Skimming over the lines of text, a person visually remembers how a word or phrase is spelled correctly. If later he accidentally writes it incorrectly, the error will "cut" the eye when reading.
People who read a lot of books tend to despair of a rich vocabulary. When they meet new words, they learn their meaning and can put them into practice by inserting them into conversation. The speech of such people is spared from "words-parasites", it is pleasant to listen to them and they know how to express their thoughts artistically and vividly.
When reading, a person needs to focus on the text, detach from external stimuli in order to understand the text. This improves concentration, which comes in handy in many activities. Moreover, it develops objectivity and the ability to make informed decisions.
There are many reasons for reading books, and if the question arises why a person needs to read, it might be better not to. Reading should be enjoyable, not an annoying duty.
