You read to enlighten your soul, brighten your day, release your adventurous side, and just for FUN!! I read all sorts of things from Harry Potter to Dickens. Don't overlook the classics just because they're dusty, some of those authors are wonderful. I highly recommend Les Miserables, Bronte, Austen, Dickens [obviously] as classics. Also, I'm a fan of Rice, Grisham, King, & Crighton as more contemporary authors. Enjoy!

I don't know who said this "Reading maketh a man" Read anything of value I mean I used to read Harold Robbins then Forsythe, then Ludlum, etc .,now I read the old west of Louis L'Amour. Just like drinking, I always think I can learn something from them if nothing I excuse myself and pretend I'm drunk and go home.

Reading expands your mind, any time you read a book you will learn something, the more you read, the more you will learn, whether it be an historical fact, a clue on how to solve personal problems, spell or use words. Read and learn!

i'm still in school, so it helps a lot with spelling and general knowledge! i can see when i haven't read for a while, that i can't spell correctly anymore. i'm afrikaans so i love Francine River's books (wich is also in english), but you should read what interests you and i'm not talking about magazines, but even reading the newspaper once in a while would help!
happy reading :)

Reading expands your vocabulary and your horizons. It improves your diction and understanding of words. It affords you to be a part of a story and visualize what the author intended in the story. It makes you a better you. Its up to you what to read. Theres fiction, science fiction, history, geography, geology, etc etc etc..

one need to read to learn, to develop, to help, and one need to read all good readable materials , because no knowledge is lost if you use it positively.
