Readers are able to travel the world, and to explore different cultures, lifestyles, relationships and experiences. One lifetime is not enough in which to do everything, but through reading, a person can vicariously live through the written experiences and imaginings of others.
Reading is entertaining. Every book opens the door to a different universe, to another person's mind and thoughts. Books tell stories, and spin tales of magic. Open a book and fall in!
Reading is instructive. Whether you wish to learn how to plant a garden, reupholster your sofa or cook a souffle, reading can instruct you in the arts of dozens of new skills.
Reading helps the reader to develop his ability to reason and think. Unlike something that is merely watched, a primarily passive activity, reading is an active process that allows a person to absorb and act upon the ideas communicated through the written word.
Whether the medium is a journal, a novel, a handwritten letter or an email, the written word allows one person to communicate his thoughts to another, and the act of reading takes in those thoughts. The ability to communicate through reading and writing is one that separates human beings from the lower animals.
