Because if you answered my question, it was probably an "all hands up" response! It's a given...we know that reading is an essential part of our daily lives, and, begins in our childhood years. Reading is a necessity, conducive to our survival, kind of like a life feed. And reading opens up our imaginations to an endless world of knowledge. I'm sure you all try to picture a scene that you're reading about, in your mind, to live the events of the story as it unfolds. I certainly do-sometimes a scary scene will spook me, and, I have to close the book for a while!  |
* Uh-Oh! You caught me in the act! *
The definition of 'read' from dictionary.com cites that it is to look carefully, so as to understand the meaning of something written, printed, etc., ie as to read a book, to read music.
Reading is a necessary tool one utilizes to achieve particular life goals, such as, furthering education in order to secure a desired occupation.
We lose ourselves in books...we find ourselves there too! How about entertainment, relaxation, and happiness? You BETCHA!
To me, it doesn't matter what you read! I truly believe anyone can learn something from anything he or she reads! Not only does reading increase your vocabulary and spelling skills, it teaches you how to incorporate these new skills into your own daily situations. And, guess what? You didn't even realize you were learning! You were just having fun! Don't listen to "what's his name", who says, "Don't just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it." I say, you CAN learn from the easy stuff-I did! The easy stuff inspired me to go on and read the harder stuff! I know, I know...Stephen King's material just doesn't come across as 'the harder stuff'.
But, here's what Mr. King has to say on the subject:
* "If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time (or tools) to write.
Simple as that!" *
~Stephen King
And, here we are, dear readers! Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere!
Just remember these tips:
1. Read anything that interests you
2. If you're not sure, try something new, because
you may be surprised at what really interests you.
3. Believe it or not, reading does further your education.
4. Read to yourself, read to each other, take turns reading in a group.
It's Gratifying!
Gosh, seems like I've rambled on forever! I do hope you all got a little something out of this post, maybe a laugh or two?
I do want to stop and thank:
