I mean i enjoy reading (only just recently), but why is it good for you? and does it improve anything?

[dani2511]

Improves spelling/grammar, can lead to a wider outlook on life, increased general knowledge, greater imagination (depending on what you're reading though)

Gives you something to do when you have no life.

Extends vocabulary?

Fuels the imagination?

[Jessaay!]

Vocabulary, knowledge, ability to comprehend things you may not have before, depending on the book it can also improve historical knowledge (classical books), social things and human behaviour, science etc.

Its a beautiful town!

[mollymustard]

Yeah it definately helps with vocab.
I'd say it probably makes you more culturally aware too.

[osteec]

Helps vocabulary, spelling,grammar and imagination!! Also gives you somthing to do when your bored and have nohing else to do.

[The Lyceum]

So, oh so many reasons. Vocabulary and composition etc etc.

But, the main reason is that I've never lost myself quite so much as when reading a good book. Beats even a good Boxing match in all honesty.

I hate it when really good books end, reading them again is never the same when one has a memory as strong as mine.

[Jinxy]

when you read your brain is actually learning some of the words whether you think it or not so it does help grammar and spelling, also good for the imagination

It allows you to condescend to anyone who hasn't read the same books as you.

[Kater Murr]

Reading is an adequate substitute for protein, don't you know.

[sammyrj]

It gives you somewhere to store your bookmarks.

The OP's signature is quite hilarious/bizarre. Books: gotta read 'em all!

You should read books to your children as a parent, they will get smarter. Shown by studies.

Literture is a documented history of the human condition. It's such a plethora of insights into our history. (L)

I don't think it improves spelling as much as when you read, you don't tend to take in how the word is spelt, just what it represents in the sentance. I say this because reading has been my main hobby since I was little and I'm a terrible speller
