Hi there!

Benefits of Reading Literature
For a lot of people, reading is always a welcoming distraction from the real world; a world of possibilities, where we are allowed to make our own conclusions without being judged. This article covers most of the benefits of what reading can do for the average reader.

EDITOR RANDOM FUN ACTIVITY

Take out sometime this coming week and perhaps the next, to do something really fun and exciting - READ. Yes, this week's fun activity is to read a book, whether fiction or non-fiction. This is your opportunity to open that book you've been wanting to read for a while now, but haven't quite found the time or place to do so. Well, this is your lucky day (or time). Funny, my article for this week is precisely about how and why reading is essential for everyone. So when you check out the article, do pick at least one book from the list that i have tagged as my 'top 10 fiction' favorites, and and take your sweet time reading it. Let this be at least one of the first accomplishments that you do in the new year, i.e., finishing up a book. So do it. This week.
