Reading is really a good way to improve ourselves. If you don't believe me, please consider these reasons to read more books.
⒈You will optimize your brain power.
Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp（even in old age）.
⒉
If you're looking for entertainment on a budget, you can't beat books. Thanks to the popularity of electronic reading devices like the Kindle and re-selling websites like eBay, it's never been easier to entertain yourself for hours at a time, for the low cost of a few dollars.
⒊You will reduce stress and get into a good night's sleep.
Exposing yourself to artificial light on your cellphone or TV reduces your body's production of melatonin （褪黑激素）, which can make it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Just replace that with a good book, which is a much better sleep-friendly alternative.
⒋You will change your life.
I firmly believe that if it were not for books, I wouldn't have achieved so much in my life; nor would I have the knowledge, imagination or creativity that I depend on as a writer, business owner, and coach.
Do you have the desire to read books now?
A. You will entertain yourself at any time.
B. You will entertain yourself at a low price.
C. The more books you read, the better your life will be.
D. This shouldn't come as a shock, but studies suggest reading makes you smart.
E. I hope these reasons encourage you to unlock your potential with the power of reading.
F. You should know that it is wise to keep a book in your purse or car at all times.
G. You would be wise to cut off all electronics at least an hour before bed.
