About This Quote
The ability to read awoke inside of me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive. How you can possible describe the benefits of reading this way? I mean, how can you make the statement that you were awakened by the ability to read and still say that it’s not a good thing? Reading is one of those activities that just makes your inner journey more interesting and fun. For example, you may enjoy reading fiction, but if you’re a fan of other genres as well, you’ll find that reading books from those genres will help expand your mind as well as give you ideas for other stories. You can also find inspiration in nonfiction books, such as those on personal development.
