Benefits of Reading Books

Reading and having access to books are things that many of us today, in the developed world should take for granted. We are made to learn to read in school but most of us don’t think twice about being able to read. I would say that reading is a relaxing and enjoyable activity, but many people don’t like reading. It is because they think that book is unimportant or maybe because we are in the digital age of information with various media, video, and other entertainment being widely available. Whatever the reason is, it seems that now less people are reading books. In my opinion we must spend some of our time for reading. If you don’t have money to buy some books there will always be a library near your place, because reading books whether fictions or non-fictions has many benefits for us.  By reading books we can improve our memorizing skill, get more knowledge, and have an enjoyable and relaxing activity.
Firstly, Reading books will improve our memorizing skill. For us, being able to memorize things faster and longer is important, it will make our study easier because we will remember the material easily, and when the teachers are explaining their lesson we can remember the material faster so we will not be left behind when the teachers are explaining it fast. Many studies show if you don’t use your memory, you will lose it. Crossword puzzles are an example of a word game that staves off Alzheimer’s. Reading, although it is not a game, helps you stretch your memory muscles in a similar way. Reading requires remembering details, facts, literature, plot lines, themes and characters. While reading, we will unconsciously memorize the plotline and the character of the story, it was proved by the fact that someone who reads books will almost remember all the contents of the book such as the plotline or characters. By how often you read books in a day or a week or maybe a month your memory will be trained and it will definitely increase your memorizing ability. As your memorizing skill increases you will definitely be able to memorize things faster and longer.
Secondly, it’s no secret that reading books get you more knowledge. Finding a new vocabulary, new information about the world, and many more. Reading expands your horizon of information. You’ll always have something to talk about. You can discuss various plots in the novels you read, you can discuss the stuffs you are learning in the business books you are reading as well. The possibilities of sharing become endless. For most people studying and getting knowledge are something you do at school or when you do your homework at home. Those people don’t know that reading books is an excellent way to get more knowledge. In fact, those who read books have higher scores in school or university, higher intelligence, and know more general knowledge. It’s no matter what books you read whether non-fiction or fiction there will be new things that you learn. Knowledge is important because no matter what you want to be, you can’t do it without more knowledge. Reading makes you smarter and keeps giving you knowledge and it also keeps your mind sharp as you age.
Lastly, besides improving memory and knowledge, reading books in fact can be a relaxing and enjoyable activity. When you have nothing to do and are too lazy to go out, books can be the alternative to help you enjoy and relax at home. I am sure that all of us will feel bored when there is nothing to do or there isn’t anybody we can talk to, but we could get rid of our boredom by playing with friends or maybe hang out with friends. Actually other than those options there is an option that doesn’t use energy and we can also relax our muscles from any tiring day and the option is to read books. It improves our memory, gives us more knowledge, and at the same time it can be a relaxing and enjoyable activity. Reading can also help us escape from a stressful day. It really doesn't matter what book you read, by losing yourself in a thoroughly engrossing book you can escape from the worries and stresses of everyday life and spend a while exploring the domain of the author's imagination.
Reading books is important. Books are the bank of knowledge. You can always improve your knowledge by reading and it still has many benefits for us. Even if you don’t have money to spend, there will always be a library or maybe a friend of yours which is willing to lend you a book. In my opinion reading books whether it is a fiction or non-fiction has many benefits for us.  Because by reading books we can improve our memorizing skill, get more knowledge, and have an enjoying and relaxing activity.
