WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO READ EVERYDAY

When it comes to reading a book I am a traditionalist. I respect and appreciate that reading is shifting towards digital text reading like the likes of Kindle. There is a fear that traditional methods are slowly disappearing. For me there is nothing that feels good like the smell and the feel of a paper book. Whether you are a traditionalist like myself or a digital route person it is good to know that people are still reading. Reading was one of the fundamental skills I developed when I was younger and still continuing with it in my adulthood. When I was young I used reading for learning purposes and to gain knowledge. Now in adulthood I use my love for reading for relaxation. But these days it is my escape from reality for a while.
