[1]Your Brain on Reading (Why Your Brain Needs You to Read Every Day):

    Reading puts your brain to work.

    Reading is to the mind what exercise is to your body.

    It gives us freedom to roam the expanse of space, time, history, and
    offer a deeper view of ideas, concepts, emotions, and body of
    knowledge.

    Roberto Bolaño says, "Reading is like thinking, like praying, like
    talking to a friend, like expressing your ideas, like listening to
    other people's ideas, like listening to music, like looking at the
    view, like taking a walk on the beach."

    Your brain on books is active - growing, changing and making new
    connections and different patterns, depending on the type of
    material you're reading.
