Why you should love reading...

(Quite irrelevant but totally mention-worthy)
    • It saves you time: It might appear to be a time-waster, but literature lets you access and experience a range of emotions and events that would take countless lifetimes to encounter.
    • It makes you nicer: Literature gives you the chance to see things from someone else's point of view, which is the best way to develop empathy for others.
    • It's a cure for loneliness: Through books, writers are able to help us reflect on who we are. We're all a little weird—and sometimes you can feel like no one else is—but literature opens your eyes up to the truth everyone is a strange and interesting person.
    • It prepares you for failure: Fear of failure can be within everyone, but when you read stories of the ups and downs of different characters, you can help show yourself that it's okay to fail. You can see that failure is a part of life.

    So crack open a book and get lost in the tales of others. It can help you in more ways than you know.
