About This Quote
People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading. While many people think that reading is a hobby or a pastime, it can actually be a way to pass the time and a way to take care of one’s mind. When you’re constantly reading something, you’re constantly learning something new. Reading helps you become more intellectual, richer in ideas and richer in knowledge.
You can even develop your vocabulary or become more articulate. In essence, you’re making yourself smarter by reading.
