About This Quote
Those who are addicted to reading may not realize the purpose of the activity. The real purpose of reading is to improve one’s ability to learn. The more you read, the more you can learn. Reading also allows you to discover new things, meet new people, and solve problems that you may not have previously considered.
This has led to our world being what it is today. If people would have stopped reading after they had read every book they could, the world would be a much different place now.
