Reading.... how fascinating is it? A lot indeed. Since the invention of the press 500 years ago, people haven´t stopped reading. The more you read the more able you are to understand others. Besides, who doesn´t wanna be lauded for their intellect?. However, to become an avid reader ain´t easy task. In fact, now more than ever, it has become very difficult to keep up with our studies. Tablets, Internet, and many other means of entertainment keep us busy most of time. Though, they also help us learn a lot. So that, it´d be necessary to keep a balance between the use of books and other sources of knowledge. For instance, I remember once for Christmas back when I was 10, I got a PlayStation and a bunch of English novels. Of course I picked the console instead of the books. Then again, nobody had encouraged me to read English books. I didn´t have a motivation to do it. Whereas in the case of video games, I did have a motive. I wanted to live out my fantasies by becoming one of my favorites movie characters for a few hours. Years later, I prayed for my English to still become quite good. I luckily got the results I wanted. If I had been primed not to play as much video games as I had, things would have been different by now. Nonetheless, nobody knows for sure how things would have panned out if they could alter the past. As a consequence, I decided one day to itemize a list of the books I wanted to read to catch up. Therefore, I got proficient at reading after a few years of practice. Conversely, recent studies have pinpointed how reading habits in teenagers have stagnated. I didn´t even have to scour the web for an article on this topic. Lastly, I´d say that nothing can be compared to what one experiences while and after reading a novel. Imagination is so powerful that it makes us fantasize so vividly at least in our dreams.
