The more books you read, the better your life will be. If you don’t believe me, please consider these five reasons to read more books.
You will make your brain power better.
This shouldn’t come as a shock, but studies suggest reading makes you smart. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp.
You will increase your chances of success.
The more books you read, the more knowledge you will have, the more ways and resources your brain will store, the more likely you will succeed.
You will have things to talk about at parties.
Reading more books will enable you to say the sentence, “Did you know …?” more often, making it easier to start conversations with strangers.
You will enlarge your vocabulary.
The more words you’re able to use, the better you will become at expressing your thoughts and feelings. I couldn’t imagine how I would write articles like this if I didn’t actively aim to enlarge my vocabulary, because using the same few words to express myself would get boring.
You will enjoy a good night’s sleep.
Your mobile phone or TV can make it difficult for you to get a good night’s sleep, if you do so late at night. You would be wise to cut off all electronics at least an hour before bed, and replace that with a good book, which is a much better choice.
The books can change your life. I firmly believe that if it wasn’t for books, I wouldn’t have achieved in my life; nor would I have the knowledge, imagination or creativity. I hope these reasons to read more books encourage you to unlock your power of reading.

A man walked into a doctor’s examing room. “Put out your tongue,” the doctor said.

 “OK. You can put your tongue back now,” the doctor said. “It’s clear what’s wrong with you. You need more exercise.” “But, doctor,” the man said. “I don’t think...”

“Don’t tell me what you think,” the doctor said,“ I am the doctor, not you. I know what you need. I see hundreds of people like you. None of them get any exercise. They sit in offices all day and in front of the television in the evening. What you need is to walk quickly for at least 20 minutes a day.”

“Doctor, you don’t understand,” the patient said, “I...”

“I don’t want to hear any excuses,” the doctor said, “You must find time for exercise. If you don’t, you will get fat and have health problems when you are older.”

“But I walk every day,” the patient said.

“Oh, yes, and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk a few meters to the train station from your house, a few more meters from the station to your office, and a few more meters from your office to a restaurant for lunch and back.”

“Please listen to me, doctor!” the patient shouted, getting angry.

“I'm a mailman,” the patient went on, “and I walk for seven hours every day.”

For a moment the doctor was silent, then he said quietly, “Put your tongue out again, will you?”
