Mircea Cartarescu is a famous Romanian writer who once said “If a kid never sees their parents reading a book, that kid will never open a book and read it.”
Nowadays everything is accessible, you can have a library with you on your phone, or any other portable device, and you can read basically whenever you get a chance. Do the majority of people do this? Unfortunately, only a handful of them. That is a result of the behavior of what we are used to doing; if reading is not part of our daily routine, then we will have no intention of doing so, and we will find joy in other activities rather than reading a book. But what could be some good reasons for a person to enjoy reading or at least, to consider reading?
Reading can take you to new and unknown places, traveling through time and space, where you can escape your reality and experience new things. It is the best way to exercise your imagination and to dream while awake. Reading could make you laugh, it could relax you, it brings back memories. You can also get inspired and motivated, broaden your horizons and get new perspectives. You can walk in someone else’s shoes, meet new people, and discover this wide world. It brings wonder and delight to children and introduces them to magic. They learn new words, new meanings, and they can have a better understanding for the importance of life. When people read, they feel less alone, never anxious, and always happy.
