These modern times are ruled by modern technology. People are already used to using all those things that are manipulated by a single touch. They are attracted to stuff that looks really sleek, preferably in clinical white, darkest black, and chrome colors. Anything that is too bulky is regarded with distaste, as most modern gadgets pride themselves of being small yet able to do big. Stereos and radios are being replaced by iPods and phone docking devices. Nobody ever reads new suspense novels in paperback editions anymore that it is easy to forget that reading books once swept the world by storm.
Reading good old books today seem to be some kind of a lost art. Modern generations hardly ever pick up these stuff and read. For them, there are so many things better than perusing through old pages. They would just rather watch TV all day, surf the net during their free time, and do other stuff. If there is a novel that has become really famous, they will just wait for the movie version of the said story in cinemas.
What these people fail to realize is that these books bring a certain kind of joy that you do not find in the modern gadgets available today. There is nothing quite like snuggling on a couch by the window with a good suspense book and hot chocolate on a rainy day. It does not need any charging as it is not battery operated. You can get lost in its pages whenever you feel like it, wherever you feel like it.
As it is, there are so many benefits of reading, even fiction ones. People often scoff at the fiction genre because they say there is nothing to be gained from it. Sometimes, readers are often discouraged from reading fiction such as romance novels, sci fi, crime, mystery, thriller, and suspense.
For starters, there is actually an amount of truth in these books. Sometimes, even biographies and history accounts can lie to make the person look good, but these made up stories always say the truth in the simplest way possible. They make one experience the truth is the most powerful, gripping way possible.
Reading also stimulates mental functions. A mentally stimulated mind can help prevent the onset of Alzheimers and dementia, the two most destructive enemies of the think process. Reading to the mind is what exercise is to the body, so to stay brain healthy, it is recommended that you read more.
It is also a very effective way to reduce stress. Reading can allow you to get lost in the plot, effectively blocking out all the worries that you may have left at work. Too much negative thinking can lead to weaker immunity, so counter all the bad vibes away with a good read.
It can also widen your view on things. You get to know so much by reading a lot. You will experience the feeling of being a good doctor, a spy, a secret agent, even a psychopath.
It also makes you think. You get to know how good people turn into the worst criminals. It also makes you aware of the many problems in life that other people are experiencing.
