About This Quote

If you ask me, reading is one of the most enjoyable things to do. Reading can not only help you learn and grow as a person, but also improve your vocabulary and grammar. It also provides you with a sense of peace and serenity, and helps keep you out of trouble.

Reading is a good way to express our thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or ridicule. Most of all, reading makes us happy!
